Varatantu (Sanskrit: वरतन्तु, romanized: Varatantu, lit. 'boon-thread') is a sage in Hinduism.[1] He establishes a school of thought called Vāratantavīya.[2]
Legend
Varatantu is featured in the Skanda Purana, having a dialogue with Nandi with other sages.[3]
The disciple of Varatantu, Kautsa, seeks money from the Raghu in the Raghuvamsha.[4]
