Nemichandradeva
Pupil of Sahasrakirtideva. Flourished in Samvat 1653, in which year a copy of the Pandavapurana was presented to him. 4, 160.
Nemidatta
(Brahmanemidatta). Pupil of Mallibhushana. Author of the Dhanyakumaracharitra. 4, 151. Author of the Sudarsanacharitra, at the end of which he gives his genealogy as follows:
In the Mula sangha, the Varabharatiya (Sarasvati) gachchha, and the Balatkaragana gachchha, in the line of Kundakunda there arose.
1. Prabhachandra. He was succeeded by2. Padmanandin. He was succeeded by3. Devendrakirti. He was succeeded by4. Vidyanandin. He was succeeded by5. Mallibhushana.
Srutasagara, Sinhanandin and our author are apparently mentioned as fellow pupils of Mallibhushana. 4, 166. For this Brahma-Nemidatta see Bhandarkar, Report 1883-84, p. 117 (previons Index of Authors under Srutasagara), where Samvat 1585 is given as the year in which he wrote his Sripalacharitra. See also Weber, p. 1028, where will be found an account of Nemidatta's Nemijinapurana. The Aradhanakathakosa (No. 471 of my Collection of 1884-86), and the Sravakachara (No. 558 of the same) are other works by this writer, to which Weber refers. From the Decc. C. P. 109, he adds to these another work, the Dharmopadesana. See 4, 141 for the genealogy at the end of the Aradhanakathakosha.
