That is, just as the Chakravarti of the Jil type has perfectly achieved the six sections of the Bharat Kshetra with his Chakra Ratna, in the same way, I have also perfectly achieved these six sections of the Siddhanta Grantha, which are the forms of the Jiva Sthan, Kshudra Bandha, Bandha Swami, Vedana Khand, Vargana Khand, and Maha Bandha, with the Chakra of Buddhi. Nemichandracharya's Guru Smaraṇ
I bow to the Muniśvara named Abhayānandin, the Guru named Indranandin who is a master of the ocean of scriptures, and the excellent Guru named Vīranandin. I will speak of the causes of the Karma Prakṛitis. ||785|| Go. Ka. || That is, I will speak of the causes of the Karma Prakṛitis after bowing to the Muniśvara named Abhayānandin, the Guru named Indranandin who is a master of the ocean of scriptures, and the excellent Guru named Vīranandin. In the above verse, the Acharya has remembered his three Gurus. The place of composition of the Gommatasara
The Gommatasara was composed in the same Jinalaya where a one-hand-tall statue of Sri Neminath Bhagavan made of Indranilamani is installed, which was built by Gommataraya (Chamundaraya) on Chandragiri. Therefore, the memory of Neminath Bhagavan is mentioned in the following verse in the Ayamangal of the Gommatasara.
The perfect, pure, I bow to the Jina Indra, Neminath, the spotless one. I will speak of the supreme liberation of the Jiva, the ornament of the qualities. ||1|| Go. Ji. Time of composition
Sri Chamunda Raya himself has written his Chamunda Purana, in which he has given the distribution of his works, but there is no mention of the construction of the statue and the Gommatasara. That Purana was written in the Saka Samvat 1.00, which is equivalent to the Vikram Samvat 1035. The fact that there is no mention of the construction of the statue and the Gommatasara in the Chamunda Raya Purana suggests that these works were done after the Vikram Samvat 1031. The time of the installation of the Gommatesvara statue, which is said to be Bahubali, is said to be Vikram Samvat 1037-38. At that time, the reign of Rachmalla in Gangadesha was going on. While writing the commentary on the Trilokasara, Sri Madhavacharya, who was a contemporary of Nemichandra Siddhanta Chakravarti, has interpreted the word 'Balgovinda' that appears in the Mangalacharan of the Trilokasara as the minister of the Ganga king Rachmalla, Chamunda Raya. This suggests that this book was written during the reign of Rachmalla. The reign of Sri Rachmalla lasted until Vikram Samvat 1041, so it appears that the Gommatasara was composed between Vikram Samvat 1037-1041.
