Tantracintāmaṇi (तन्त्रचिन्तामणि) is the name of a work authored by Godāvaramiśra: the chief minister (mantrivara) and preceptor (rājaguru) to the Orissan king Pratāparudradeva, who ruled in the early sixteenth century. In addition to Yoga (e.g., his Yogacintāmaṇi), Godāvaramiśra wrote works on various topics, including Advaitavedānta (the Advaitadarpaṇa), Tantra (the Tantracintāmaṇi) and an extensive treatise on politics and warfare (the Hariharacaturaṅga). His view of yoga was mainly shaped by the Pātañjalayogaśāstra.
