Damodardev (1488–1598) was sixteenth century Ekasarana preceptor from Nalaca, Nagaon. Damodardev was a follower of Sankardeva's Ekasarana dharma order.[2] He started his own order after the death of Sankardeva that came to be called the Brahmasamhati, which admitted Brahmanical rituals and greater adherence to the caste system alongside the namadharma of Sankardev.[3] He was succeeded by Bhattadeva.[4]

^"(At Patbausi) Damodara was attracted towards Sankara's bhakti movement with its musical charm, and he was soon found joining the Vaishnava Order." (Neog 1980:129)
^"This sect admitted brahmanical rites together with general devotional practices and took a rigid view of caste distinction. Some of Brahma satras like the Dakhinpat satra went so far as to administer tantric diksa (initiation)."(Shin 2017:248)
