1. Gopāla (c 1100): *Kāmadhenu*. He took interest in Artha topics also and composed *Rājanīti-Kāmadhenu*. In Chaṇḍeśvara's *Rājanīti-Ratnākara* ch. XV. (c 1325) he is described as having held the view along with Lakṣmīdhara and Śrīkara that among the "owners" of a state are to be named the poor and the helpless.

2. Halāyudha I. (c 1100) : *Nibandha*. The author was perhaps a contemporary of Dhāreśvara and Jitendriya. His name is cited often by Lakṣmīdhara (c 1125) and Chaṇḍeśvara (c 1325). He was probably an inhabitant of Mithilā.
