[1] Born in Šibenik in Dalmatia (now in Croatia), Nikodim was the son of Dragosav and Todora.
The Serbian Orthodox leadership criticized him for accepting foreign chirotony, however, in 1696 Arsenije III Čarnojević recognized the chirotony due to Nikodim's resolute defense of Serbian Orthodoxy from Uniatism despite pressure, and improved church life, renovation of the Dragović Monastery (in 1694, deserted in 1614), and other efforts.
With the arrival of the new provvedittore of Dalmatia, Justinio Riva, pressure increased on Nikodim and Orthodox Serbs to subjugate to the Catholic bishop in Split.
In his place, the Venetian government appointed Savatije Ljubibratić, on the demand of the monasteries of Krka and Krupa.
[2] When the situation cooled down after a period of time, he returned to Dalmatia and died at the Krka Monastery.
