The son of Lakṣmī and Vināyaka Somayājin of the Vatsagotra, a resident of Cittapūrṇa (Cipaḷūṇa) in Śūrpārakṣetra, Cintāmaṇi was born in Śaka 1658 = A.D. 1736 and died in Śaka 1733 = A.D. 1811. He is said to have composed a *Sūryasiddhāntasāraṇī* (see S. B. Dikshit [1896] 297). He also wrote in Śaka 1713 = A.D. 1791 at Saptarṣi (Sātārā), presumably under the Marāṭha Śāhu (1777/1810) and the Peshwa Madho Rao II (1774/1795), a *Golānanda* in 148 verses. There is a ṭīkā by his grandson Yajñeśvara (*fl.* ca. 1800). Manuscripts:
