Saraha (Skt.; Wyl. mda' bsnun) was one of the greatest Indian mahasiddhas, and is known for his celebrated songs of realization (Skt. dohā). He was also one of Nagarjuna's teachers. In iconography he is depicted holding an arrow. According to tradition, his dohas are divided into three cycles: the King Dohas, Queen Dohas and People Dohas.
