The king of Ujjain, who renounced the throne and became a disciple of Gorakshanath. The founder of Vairag-panth also known as Bhartṛhari Bāirāg (lit. “Bhartrihari‘s rejection”, in honor of his abdication from the king's throne). In the Tradition, he is also famous as Great Siddha Vicharnath.

Bhartrihari is the author of such poems as “Shringarashataka” (dedicated to love), “Nitishataka” (a hundred verses on worldly wisdom), “Vairagyashataka” (dedicated to detachment). He wrote the last one, when he met Gorakshanath. He was also the first to describe the theory of speech and sound (how speech is related with consciousness). He is also credited with the writings related to sanskrit grammar (Vākyapadīya), where he analyzed it from a mystical point of view. Some scientists are inclined to believe that there were three different people – a yogi, a poet, and a grammarian.
