poets from Bihar?

[Dipak Bhattacharya]

Dear Colleague,
Vidyāpati
of Mithila – Vaiṣṇava devotional poems
If kāvya
is meant then one may count 
Bāṇabhaṭṭa – Kādambarī and Harṣacarita-- prose romance, Viśākhadatta – Mudrārākṣasa -- drama. Eastern UP is culturally akin
to Bihar. This region too produced poets like Vatsabhṭṭi. 

Best
DB

Dear list,
Is anybody aware of Sanskrit poets from the area that is now Bihar?  I imagine there may have been some well known poets from Pataliputra whose works have survived, and perhaps from other places and periods too.
I would be grateful for any leads or ideas.
Thank you
Venetia
