Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Godāvaramiśra (गोदावरमिश्र) is the author of the 16th-century text dealing with Yoga, and various other works.—Godāvaramiśra was a chief minister (mantrivara) and preceptor (rājaguru) to the Orissan king Pratāparudradeva, who ruled in the early sixteenth century. In addition to yoga, 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.
