XXXV
completed his Parśvanatha-charita in the Saka year 947 ( A.D. 1025) makes mention of him and his work. Viranandi gives his spiritual genealogy as follows:
Desigapa
Gupanandi
I
Abhayanandi
i Viranandi
It is just possible that Nemichandra's Abhayanandi and Viranandi are identical with those occurring in this genealogy.
The verse in Karmakanda referring to Indranandi and Kanakanandi is this:
वर इंददि गुरुणो पासे सोऊण सगळसिद्धंतं ।
सिरि कणयणंविगुरुणा ससद्वाणं समुद्दिद्धं ।। ३९६ ॥
It may be that this Indranandi is the same as the author of Jvālāmālini-kalpa noticed above. From the verse it appears that Kanakanandi, the pupil of Indranandi, wrote a work named "Sattat thana' (Saptasthana). But nothing further is known about the work.
Trilokasara is one of the works of Nemichandra, but the commentator Madhavachandra declares that he incorporated many verses of his own in the work with the consent of Nemichandra
गुरु मिचंदसद दिपयगाहा तर्हि तहिं रहदा
माहवचंद तिविज्जे णिण मणुसर णिज्ज मज्झहिं ॥ १०१४ ॥
This makes Madhavachandra a contemporary of Nemichandra. Mādhavachandra is also the author of " Kshapanasara " in Sanskrit. The date of the composition of this work is declared in the following verse which is taken from the Kārajā manuscript : --
अमुना माघवचन्द्रदिव्यगणिना त्रैविद्यचक्रेशिना क्षपणासारमकारि बाहुबलिसम्मन्त्रीशसंज्ञस्या । शक्काले शरसूर्यचन्द्र गणिते जाते प्रभौल शुभदे दुंदुभिवरसरे विजयतामाचन्द्रतारं भुवि ।
The date expressed is probably Saka 1125. Saka 1124, however, was Dundubhi. In view of this date it seems difficult how he can be accepted to be a contemporary of Nemichandra. Yet out of this confusion the balance of evidence goes in favour of Nemichandra's existence in 1024 A. D., which carries the
