What you are doing is basically this:

• Taking some known facts / evidence
• Adding your own logical connection (inference)
• Reaching a possible conclusion about Vidyādhara Matang-vaṁsh protecting 3 Jain idols in Mana village.

From a Jain perspective, that is completely acceptable as long as you present it honestly and clearly, like you already tried to do.

You can frame it more precisely like this:

1. Separate “fact” from “inference”

For example: - It is a fact that: - These Jain idols exist in Mana village. - Their style / script / tradition suggests they are Jain. - There may be local belief or oral tradition about Vidyādhara / Matang-vaṁsh, etc. - It is your inference that: - “Vidyādhara Matang-vaṁsh protected these 3 Jain idols in Mana village.”

1. Use careful Jain-style language

In Jain Darshan, we have: - Anekāntavād – many-sidedness of truth - Syādvāda – conditional, humble expression (“from a certain standpoint”, “possibly”, “it seems”)

So instead of stating: > “Vidyādhara Matang-vaṁsh protected 3 Jain idols in Mana village.”

You can say: > “Based on the available evidence and local traditions, it appears possible that a Vidyādhara Matang-vaṁsh might have protected these 3 Jain idols in Mana village.”

Or: > “Connecting the known facts and the style/tradition of these idols, one reasonable view is that Vidyādhara Matang-vaṁsh protected them.”

1. Why this is good from a Jain view

- You are not claiming absolute historical proof. - You are openly saying: “I am connecting dots from the known facts.” - This matches the Jain spirit of: - Not speaking what you know to be false. - Not overstating what is only probable. - Accepting that there may be other possible explanations too.

1. How to present it in writing or discussion

You can use sentences like: - “I am not claiming this as an established historical fact, but based on the idols, their features, and local accounts, I am putting forward a hypothesis that Vidyādhara Matang-vaṁsh protected these 3 Jain idols in Mana village.” - “This is a logical reconstruction, not a fully verified historical conclusion.”

This way you keep:

• Respect for truth (satya)
• Intellectual honesty
• And still share your interesting connection about Vidyādhara Matang-vaṁsh and the 3 Jain idols.
