Ayachi Mishra (Sanskrit: अयाची मिश्र) was an Indian Vedic scholar during the 14th century in Mithila. His real name was Bhavanatha Mishra.[1][2][3][4] He was an eminent scholar of the Nyaya Shastra in the Indian philosophy. The Nyaya Shastra also known as Indian Logic is one of the six schools of thought in the Indian philosophy.
Ayachi is a Sanskrit adjective word. The Hindi word of Ayachi is Ayachaka having literal meanings non-asking, prosperous or rich.[5] According to legend, it is said that the scholar Bhavanatha Mishra never asked anything with anyone in his life. He was very committed to his words and promises given to anyone. It is said that due to his ideal qualities of renunciation and commitment to his words, he was later called as Ayachi and became famous with his new name Ayachi Mishra.[6]
