Pp. 67,69. The anonymous commentary with which Somadeva's Nitivākyamata has been published in the Manikyacandra Digambara Jaina granthamālā (No. 21) says that Somadeva produced this work at the instance of King Mahendra-pāla of Kanyakubja. Sri Nathuram PREMI discounts this story in his introduction. It will be not unlikely if his Nitivákyämrit was written for a Mahendrapāla of Kanaui. probably Mahendrapala II.

The Lemulavada grant mentions Somadeva's grand-preceptor as Yaśodeva of Gaudasangha Sri Premi explains the 'Gauda' here as referring perhaps to the name 'Golla' occuring in
