Raja Bhartruhari (c. 450—510 C.E.) was one of the finest kings in Vedic India who eventually became one of the greatest Rishi. His greatest two contributions  are (1) the Vākyapadīya, on Sanskrit grammar and linguistic philosophy, a foundational text in the Indian grammatical tradition and, (2) the Śatakatraya, a work of Sanskrit poetry,  consisting of three thematic compilations on Shringara, Vairagya and Niti (loosely: love, dispassion and moral conduct) of hundred verses each.
