Nārāyaṇapaṇḍita (नारायणपण्डित) or “Śrī Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita” is the author of the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) from the 16th century CE.—The author of Jvaranirṇaya, Śrī Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita is known to be the disciple of Nāgeśa and the son of Kṛṣṇa Paṇḍita. He is also identified to be the younger brother of Nāganātha who was one of the teachers of Lakṣmaṇa Paṇḍita who wrote Nidānapradīpa (Meulenbeld 2002). Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita is also the author of Vaidyavallabhaṭīkā and Siddhāntasaṃcaya which are the commentaries of the texts Siddhāntacikitsā and Śārṅgadharā’s Triśatī respectively (Meulenbeld, 2002 , p. 265). The time period of this treatise is corroborated to be sixteenth century CE from the fact that Śrī Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita has written a commentary for Śārṅgadharā’s Triśatī on jvara which was written in fifteenth century CE.

Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita (नारायण पण्डित) (fl. 1053 A.D.) is mentioned in the “Dive Agar plate of Mummuṇirāja”. Accordingly, “The illustrious King Mummuṇideva lays down the settlement for the learned Brāhmaṇas endowed with wisdom, who are prominent among the sixteen representatives (mahattarakas) residing at Āgara-dīpaka, in the presence of principal royal officers such as... the Purōhita (family-priest), the illustrious Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita...”.

This copper plate (mentioning Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita) was discovered at Dīve Āgar in the Śrīvardhana-tālukā of the Kolābā District in North Koṅkaṇ. It is dated on the fifth tithi of the dark fortnight of Āṣāḍha in the Śaka year 975, the cyclic year being Vijaya. Its object is to record a vyavasthā (settlement) in respect of the village Dīpakāgara together with its three hamlets, viz. Voritalī, Katila and Kalaija.
