Īsardās or “Bārahaṭ Īsardās” is the author of the Hararasa or Harirasa (classified as Rajasthani literature).—The Hararasa (in Rajasthani) 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.—Bārahaṭ Īsardās (1539-1618 ce) was born at the village Bhadresa near Badmer in the Malani region of Rajasthan. He was brought up by his paternal uncle as his parents had died when he was small, and taken to dwarka in 1560. Raval, the Jam of Jamnagar in gujarat, gave him patronage as he had been impressed by him. Īsar studied the Bhāgavata Purāṇa and other Sanskrit classics with pītāmbara Bhaṭṭa, his guru, to whom he pays homage at the beginning of the present work (see above). ‘His contribution to historical-cum-heroic and puranic-cum religious tradition of charan poetry is noteworthy’ (h. Maheswari in Encyclopedia of Indian Literature pp. 387-388).
