Bhartrihari : Some researchers ascribe c.450-510, some c.570, & some c.651, as the period he lived in, while some believe there were two Bhartriharis: The author of Vākyapadīya (Words in a Sentence), the most outstanding work on the philosophy of language; & the poet of the philosophical trilogy Centuries of Verses: Shringāra shataka, Neeti shataka, & Vairāgya shataka. Some identify him as a brother of Raja Vikramāditya; some as the author of Vākyapadīya, & some a disciple of Yogi Goraksha Nath – but none is definite about which of these three wrote the Shatakas!
