Ṛṣabha (Rishabha) is an ancient rājarṣi (rajarshi; a king with the attributes of a seer-sage) of Bhāratavarṣa (Bharatavarsha; the ancient namefor India). There is no clear evidence as to whether he was identical with the rājarṣi Ṛṣabha, the father of Bharata, belonging to the vaṃśa (vamsa; genealogical line) of Priyavrata.
