Nemichandra

Nemichandra Siddhanta Chakravarty (ca. 9th century), was the celebrated author of Dravyasamgraha, Gomattasara (Jivkand and Karmakand), Triloksara, Labdhisara and Kshapanasara. He was among the most distinguished of the Jain Acharyas.

At the request of Chamundaraya, he wrote Gomattasar taking the essence of all available works of the great Acharyas. He also supervised the consecration of the Gomateshwara statue.

The Dravyasamgraha of Nemichandra (ca. 9th century) is a sacred text of Jainism.
