(15th c.) Poet and saint of the Varkari Panth, a Hindu religious order dedicated to the Hindu deity Vithoba.
Sen was a barber in the court of the king of Bidar,
according to legend, a very low-caste occupation.
Sen gave up his job to go wandering and singing Vithoba's
praises.
Little is known about him, however he is cited in one of the
poems of the northern Indian poet saint Ravidas as an example of dedication,
indicating that he was well-known beyond Maharashtra.
See Justin Abbott and Narhar R. Godbole, Stories of Indian
Saints, 1988, for traditional hagiography.
