Talk:Śatakatraya

I agree since i am Bhartari myself and i find that people always confuse King Bhartari with Poet Bhartari, King Bhartari was a Rajput and Poet was not.

King Bharthari is often mistaken for, but hardly identical with the poet Bhartrhari. Bhrithari is certainly a misspelling. dab (𒁳) 18:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

hm, yes, now I merged the two in spite of myself. I don't know if this was a good idea. perhaps Bharthari and Bhartṛhari (poet) should be separate articles. My aim in the recent edits was to disentangle the poet and the grammarian. --dab (𒁳) 14:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

King Bhartihari and the poet Bhartihari are the same. Even though my statements are based on folklores, it is a well known fact. King Bhartihari decided to become a sanyasin under the guidance of Gorakhnath or rather Gorakshnath. It was after his renunciation that he wrote the Vairagya Shatak which consists 100 shlokas on Vairagya which is the state of disinterestedness in worldly pleasures. It is preposterous to say that he was a Rajput King, which he wasn't. 114.31.134.80 (talk) 05:00, 1 May 2010 (UTC) Prateek Mishra creativelipi.prateek @ gmail.com
