ANŪPASIṂHA (fl. 1674/98) The son of Karṇasiṃha and the Mahārāja of Bīkāner from 1674 to 1698, Anūpasiṃha was both an assiduous collector of manuscripts (his collection forms the core of the Anup Sanskrit Library at Bīkāner) and a patron of many scholars, including Maṇirāma Dīkṣita, Vidyānātha, and the Josirāya (apparently Vīrasiṃha Gaṇaka) who wrote on jyotiṣa.
