description: "Bhāskararāya Makhin (1690–1785) was a religious exponent and writer known for his contributions to the Shakta tradition of Hinduism. He was born in a Maharashtrian Brahmin family at Hyderabad, Telangana. Bhaskara raya was welcomed by king Serfoji II of Bhonsle dynasty in Tanjore, and thereupon he settled in Tamil Nadu. According to Douglas Renfrew Brooks, a professor of Religion specializing in Shaktism studies, Bhāskararāya was \"not only a brilliant interpreter of Shri Vidya, he was an encyclopedic writer\", and that he was a \"thinker who had the wealth of Tantric and Vedic traditions at his fingertips\". He belonged to the Srividya tradition of the Shakta Tantrism."
