Haradāsa (हरदास) or “Haradāsa Misaṇa” is the author of the Jālandharapurāṇa (classified as Rajasthani literature), 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.—Haradāsa, the author, was a cāraṇa (bard), who was active between VS 1550 and 1650. He was born as Avacaladāna Misaṇa in the village of Boganīāi ( Jaisalmer district). He is said to have received large amounts of money from king Mānsingh of Jaipur and amber but he donated it. Haradāsa Misaṇa is the author of two works, the Bhṛṃgīpurāṇa and the Jālandharapurāṇa.

Haradāsa is one of the Brāhmaṇa donees mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha II” (1302 A.D.). When a grant was made to a large number of Brāhmaṇas, the chief amongst the donees seems to have been called Pānīyagrāhin especially. In the present record, though all the donees (e.g., Haradāsa) are referred to as Pāṇigrāhi-mahājana, their list is headed by a Brāhmaṇa with Pāṇigrahī as his surname.

These copper plates (mentioning Haradāsa) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king Vīra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaṭaka (city, camp or residence).
