Amaracandra was a pupil of Jinadatta Sūri⁴ of the Vāyaḍa-gaccha, who is identified with the author of the *Viveka-vilāsa* and who lived about the middle of the 13th century⁵. Amaracandra appears to have been a pupil or a fellow-student of Arisiṃha⁶ and lived, according to the account given in Jaina Rājaśekhara’s work⁷, in time of Vīradhabala and his minister Vastupāla, as well as in that of Visaladeva, before the latter's accession to the throne of Aṇhilvāḍ i.e. about the second quarter or the middle of the 13th century.
