Bihārī (बिहारी) or Bihārīlāl is the author of the Satasaī (dealing with Poetics and Erotics) which was commented upon by Sūrata Miśra in his Amaracandrikā, which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—As stated in the beginning, the Amaracandrikā is a Braj commentary on Bihārīlāl’s Satasaī. Bihārī was a court poet to Jayasiṃha, the ruler of amber and composed the 700 couplets chanting the love of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa in amber, probably in 1647 CE. The verses of the Satasaī are systematically quoted here but not necessarily in the order of the original.
