Vinayaditya (r. 1047 – 1098 CE) was an able Jain king of the Hoysala Empire,[1] who distinguished himself as an able feudatory of the Kalyani Chalukyas during his long reign.
He helped bring many small Malnad chiefs like the Kongalvas, Chengalvas, Santharas of Humcha Shimoga and the Kadambas of Bayalnadu (Vainadu) under control.
He was either a brother-in-law or father-in-law of Chalukya Someshvara I. Vinayaditya conquered and ruled over South Kanara and Mysore.
[2] He was succeeded by his grandson Veera Ballala I as Vinayaditya's son Ereyanga had predeceased him.
