'''Bakul Kayastha''' (born c. 1400) was a mathematician from [[Kamrup region|Kamrup]]. He was especially known for his masterpiece in the field of mathematics named ''Kitabat Manjari,'' written in 1434, and ''Lilavati''.<ref>{{cite book |title=Encyclopaedia of India – Volume 23|last=Chopra |first=Pran Nath |year=1992|publisher= Rima Publishing House|page=157}}</ref>

''Kitabat Manjari'' is a poetical treatise on arithmetic, surveying and bookkeeping. The book teaches how accounts are to be kept under different heads and how stores belonging to the royal treasury are to be classified and entered into a stock book.
The works of Bakul Kyastha were regarded as standards in his time to be followed by other [[Kayastha]]s in maintaining royal accounts.<ref>{{cite book |title=Proceedings and transactions of the All-India oriental conference – Volume 23 |year= 1969 |page= 174 }}</ref>
