Saraha,Sarhappa, Sarahapa, Sarahapāda (, ; ) was an Indian Buddhist Mahasiddha and poet. The name Saraha means "the one who has shot the arrow.". According to one, scholar, "This is an explicit reference to an incident in many versions of his biography when he studied with a dakini disguised as a low-caste arrow smith. Metaphorically, it refers to one who has shot the arrow of non duality into the heart of duality."
