His younger brother legendary king Vikramāditya ruled his kingdom after his renunciationBhartrihari was a versatile genius. His work Vakyapadiya proves him of be a grammarian as well as a philosopher. He ruled the entire Bharata Khanda and strictly followed Rajadharma and ruled 135 years with Dharma. His Maharani Padmakshi led his other 130 wives and propagated 64 Kalas (Indian Arts) 14 Vidyas (Techniques) in every corner of Bharata Khanda. He ensured that all his 130 queens held a most elevated position, and they strictly followed the Sanatana Dharma that benefited of all subjects. 130 kingdoms have long dreamt of a Greater India. Raja Bhartruhari reorganized 130 kingdoms by terming as the Great 16 -Mahajanpadas. This is to ensure the emergence of India's first large cities after the demise of the Indus Valley Civilization. This is a major turning point in history of the Bharata Khanda. He consolidated Bharata Khanda as "Undivided India" territorially encompassing India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Kingdoms in the Eastern Himalayan and Islands on Indian Ocean. It was an amalgamation of several thousands of distinct and unique cultures of all religions and communities, their languages, religions, dance, music, architecture, food, and customs differ from place to place within the Empire. Bharatiya culture is largely a culture of knowledge and promotes learning, considering meditation as the most important form of study, that one can do. This dharmic culture of knowledge embraced science as well as spirituality and consciousness as the underlying ground of the entire universe. Raja Bhartruhari blessed with 130 sons, who educated them well, He taught the concepts of Dharma, Karma, and Ahimsa, philosophy of nonviolence, is an important aspect of native faiths. He advocated following Rājadharma, "Let our ruling lie in respecting and acting on the sovereignty of the people. You, dear my sons, must begin your governance from the remotest village of your assigned kingdom. Ensure peoples participation in all lifestyles. We have to fill our hearts with this heritage. Remember, "Unity is the primary requisite." Love of the mother is a nectarine quality. Develop the quality of love. Fill your entire life with love. You must love the Motherland. Resolve to dedicate your lives to the service of the motherland. Make education and Higher Medicine available free for all. Let there is not a trace of self-interest in you. There's 'no greatness without goodness'. Hence, whatever you do is only for the sake of others and be always filled with infinite joy! Now, you begin tour work from the grass root level. "Social action" comes easy to those who understand the value of service, helping others and devoting themselves to making the world a better place despite challenges." According to one legend associated with Raja Bhartruhari, who once gave a magic fruit to his youngest wife, Pingala who gave it to another man, who in turn gave it to another woman, and finally it reached the king again. Reflecting on these events, he realized the futility of love and worldly pleasures, renounced his kingdom, became a Yogi, and lived a life of dispassion in a cave near Ujjain until his death. His Sanskrit most famous Śatakatraya, three Satakas called Niti (ethics and polity), Shringara (love), and Vairagya (dispassion). These facilitate eternal happiness, joy, peace, and useful to the readers... Sivkishen Ji,

An award-winning translator finds surprisingly modern themes in a selection of erotic and religious stanzas from one of classical India's most celebrated poets. Although few facts are known about his life, the Indian poet Bhartrihari leaps from the page as a remarkably recognizable individual. Amidst a career as a linguist, courtier, and hermit, he used poetry to explore themes of love, desire, impermanence, despair, anger, and fear. “A thousand emotions, ideas, words, and rhythmic syllables stormed through him,” writes translator Andrew Schelling in an evocative introduction. “In particular he shows himself torn between sexual desire and a hunger to be free of failed love affairs and turbulent karma.” Schelling’s translation represents a rare opportunity for English-language readers to become acquainted with this fascinating poet. Attuned to Bhartrihari’s unique poetic sensibility, Schelling has produced a compelling, personally curated set of translations.

Madhu Natisar Nath is a Rajasthani farmer with no formal schooling. He is also a singer, a musician, and a storyteller. At the center of A Carnival of Parting are Madhu Nath's oral performances of two linked tales about the legendary Indian kings, Bharthari of Ujjain and Gopi Chand of Bengal. Both characters, while still in their prime, leave thrones and families to be initiated as yogis—a process rich in adventure and melodrama, one that offers unique insights into popular Hinduism's view of world renunciation. Ann Grodzins Gold presents these living oral epic traditions as flowing narratives, transmitting to Western readers the pleasures, moods, and interactive dimensions of a village bard's performance. Three introductory chapters and an interpretive afterword, together with an appendix on the bard's language by linguist David Magier, supply A Carnival of Parting with a full range of ethnographic, historical, and cultural backgrounds. Gold gives a frank and engaging portrayal of the bard Madhu Nath and her work with him. The tales are most profoundly concerned, Gold argues, with human rather than divine realities. In a compelling afterword, she highlights their thematic emphases on politics, love, and death. Madhu Nath's vital colloquial telling of Gopi Chand and Bharthari's stories depicts renunciation as inevitable and interpersonal attachments as doomed, yet celebrates human existence as a "carnival of parting."
