In 1629 one Harajī or Harijit wrote a Yoginīdaśāphalaprakaraṇa describing the eight yoginīdaśās in accordance with the Śivayāmala. And in 1633 Rājarṣi, the son of Kalyāṇa, wrote a Daśācintāmaṇi at Dadhīcyapura in Gujarāt; he also was the author of a Yoginīdaśāphala. To a Kalyāṇa,⁹¹ who may be Rājarṣi's father, is attributed a vast Janmapatrikāpaddhati, which is sometimes also entitled Mānasāgarī; and to Mānasāgara⁹² is ascribed an identical—or at least very similar—Mānasāgarī,⁹³ in which is incorporated Harajī's Yoginīdaśāphalaprakaraṇa (end of adhyāya 5). The earliest dated manuscript of the Mānasāgara version was copied in 1708. Manuscripts of Kalyāṇa's version seem to have quotations from the VYJ, the BJ, the LJ, and other works. The relations of the various Mānasāgarīs and the various Yoginīdaśās to each other remain to be investigated.
