Nikka (啶ㄠた啶曕啶�) participated in the war between 搁腻尘补 and 搁腻惫补峁嘺, on the side of the latter, as mentioned in 厂惫补测补尘产丑奴deva鈥檚 Paumacariu (Padmacarita, Paumacariya or 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺pur膩峁嘺) chapter 57ff. 厂惫补测补尘产丑奴 or 厂惫补测补尘产丑奴deva (8th or 9th century) was a Jain householder who probably lived in Karnataka. His work recounts the popular 搁腻尘补 story as known from the older work 搁腻尘腻测补峁嘺 (written by 痴腻濒尘墨办颈). Various chapters [mentioning Nikka] are dedicated to the humongous battle whose armies (known as 补办峁耻丑颈峁嚹玸) consisted of millions of soldiers, horses and elephants, etc.
