Rishyasringa is a rishi mentioned in Hindu scriptures from the first millennium BCE. According to the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, he was a boy born with the horns of a deer who became a seer and was lured by royal courtesans, which led to the yajna of King Dasharatha. His story also occurs in the Buddhist Jatakas in the last millennium BCE, where he is mentioned as the son of Bodhisatta and the subject of a seduction attempt by royal courtesans.
