in Hindu legend, was a highly respected philosopher at the court of king Vikramaditya. He was the king's favorite, and had several surnames, as "the divine," "the lion." For twelve years he lived a secluded life in a woods, because there he believed Buddha to live. In a certain place called Buddhagaya he built a temple, and decorated it with numerous images of deities.
