3186 ., 329*. Age. - Samvat 1491 (?). Author of the commentary.- Devendra Gaņi', pupil of Amradeva
Upadhyāya, pupil of Uddyotana Sūri of the BỊhad gaccha. It seems that this Devendra Gaội was designated as Nemicandra Süri, on his being raised to the status of 'ācārya'. This is what can be inferred from Mss. Nos. 659-661. Probably this is the reason why he is referred to as “Devendra Gaņi, alias Nemicandra Sûri” in Keith's Catalogue in No. 7489. P. Peterson, too, is of the same opinion as can be seen from p. VII of his Report for 1884-86. But his entry viz. “By Nemichandra afterwards called Devandragaņi” is wrong; for, it should be rather just the
reverse. 3 From p. 80% of the Appendix I to this third 1 He belongs to · Tapa' gaccha according to Klatt. See Indian Antiquary vol. IX.
2 In B. B. R. A. S. vols. III-IV, p. 421, the name of the guru of Devendra Gaņi is mentioned as Amradeva. It ought to be Amradeva unless there is a variant like a FET 6T cat in v. to given on p. 21.
3 This mistake is corrected by him in his fourth Report and there on pp. LIX-LX, he has given detailed information about him.
