Bharadvāja
c. 1350 BCE · Prayagraj
Legendary Vedic seer; no historical dates. The conventional placement ties him to the Rigvedic family books, the sixth maṇḍala being ascribed to his lineage. The figure is mythic, and the year reflects textual stratum rather than verified biography.
Bharadvāja is a legendary seer traditionally credited, with his family of descendants, with the sixth book (Mandala VI) of the Rigveda — one of the "family books" — and counted among the Saptarṣi in several traditional lists. He appears across the epics and Puranas as a teacher and as ancestor of priestly lineages (the Bharadvāja gotra). His existence is known only through tradition and scripture.
