 It is believed that a large number of "Nishidhis" at Shravanabelgola follow the earlier tradition.Several inscriptions after 600 CE record that Chandragupta Maurya () and his teacher Bhadrabahu observed the vow atop Chandragiri Hill at Sharavnabelagola.Historians such as R. K. Mookerji consider the accounts unproven, but plausible.
