INDEX OF AUTHORS.
Narachandra
Author of the Chaturvinsatijinastava. 5, 95. Narachandra was a contemporary of Udayaprabha. See previous Index of Authors. At the end of the Patan copy of the Chaturvinsatijinastava, written in Samvat 1334, there is a "sadgurupaddhati" containing the following genealogy In the city which saw the origin of the Harshapariyagachcha there arose

1. Abhayadevasuri. To him king Karna granted the title of Maladharin. See previous Index of Authors, and compare Weber, p. 694. Weber's statement, at p. 1098, that in the passage cited at p. 694 Viradevaganin is referred to as a pupil of Jayasinha does not appear to be correct. Abhayadevasuri is the pupil of Jayasinha, and Viradevaganin is merely referred to as a learned contemporary, to whom Abhayadeva was indebted for instruction. Abhayadeva was succeeded by
2. Hemachandra Maladharin. The favour he enjoyed at the hands of king Siddha is referred to. Hemachandra was apparently succeeded by
3. Vijayasinha, and Vijayasinha by
4. Chandrasuri. But the other names given would appear to be for the most part names of contemporaries. They are Vibudhachandra, Munichandra, Haribhadra, Manadeva, Siddhasuri, Devabhadra, Mahendrasuri, Devanandasuri, Nemichandra, Yasobhadra, Devaprabha (the author of the Pandavapurana. His fame as a poet is referred to. Compare 3, 131), Narachandra (our Author), Narendraprabha, Ratnaprabha, Manikyasuri, Prabhanandasuri and Padmadeva.
