 Karna was also tolerant towards Jainism, as evident from Rajashekhara's 15th century commentary on Sridhara's "Nyaya-Kandali".One legend claims that as Karna became a disciple of Vardhamana Suri, but this is historically inaccurate since Vardhamana Suri had starved himself to death at an earlier date.The story of Karandev (Karna), Minaldevi (Mayanalla) and their son Siddhraj (Jayasimha Siddharaja) is depicted in the Gujarati historical fiction "Patan ni Prabhuta" (The Glory of Patan) by Kanhaiyalal Munshi.
