== परिचय || Introduction ==
Sayanacharya (Sanskrit : सायनाचार्यः) was a great Vedic and Sanskrit scholar who lived during the reign of Vijayanagara Kings. His commentaries and works have been the foundation for many translations of vedas as of date. Early Indologists including Max Muller exptensively referred to his Bhashya's or commentaries on the Four Vedas. As a bhashyakara he was viewed in a different light by many later day scholars, hence this article is compiled to throw light on his life and works.

== Family ==
Sāyaṇāchārya was born in a learned South Indian brāhmaṇa family. His father was Māyaṇa and his mother śrimatī. He was a brāhmaṇa of the Bhāradvāja—gotra, Bodhāyana Sutra and Krishṇa Yajurveda. He belonged to the Taittirīya śākha of the Krishna Yajurveda, as is also evident from the fact that the very first Vedic commentary he wrote was the Taittirīya Samhitā of the Krishṇa Yajurveda. He had two brothers Mādhavāchārya and Bhoganātha, of whom the first was the eldest and the second was the youngest of the three.
