Bharadvaja (Sanskrit: भरद्वाज, IAST: Bharadvāja; also spelled Bharadwaja) was one of the revered Vedic sages (maharishi) in Ancient India. He was a renowned scholar, economist, grammarian and a physician. He is one of the Saptarishis (seven great sages or Maharṣis).[1]
His contributions to ancient Indian literature, specifically the Rigveda, provide significant insight into ancient Indian society.[2][3][4] He and his family of students were the authors of the sixth book of the Rigveda.[5] In the epic Mahabharata, Bharadvaja was the father of the teacher (guru) Droṇācārya,[6] the instructor to Pandava and Kaurava princes. Bharadvaja is also mentioned in Charaka Samhita, an authoritative ancient Indian medical text.
