The son of Haṃsarāja of Cayanapura in Bhāgalamaṇḍala of Mithilā, Gaṅgādhara wrote a Bījavāsanā based on the Bījagaṇita of Bhāskara (b. 1114) in Śaka 1861 = A.D. 1939. It was published as HSS 124, Benares 1940. He is apparently identical with the Gaṅgādhara Miśra who wrote a ṭīkā on the Siddhāntatattvaviveka of Kamalākara (fl. 1658), which was published at Lucknow in 1929 (NL Calcutta 180. Kc. 92. 32), and with the author of the Sanskrit (Jaladagarjana) and Hindī (Candrikā) ṭīkās on the Tājikanīlakaṇṭhī of Nīlakaṇṭha (fl. 1587), both of which were edited by Kapileśvara Caudhuri Śāstrin, HSS 143, Benares 1941 (NL Calcutta 180. Kc. 94. 2); reprinted Benares 1950.
