Artabhaga (Sanskrit: आर्तभाग, Romanised:Ārtabhāga) was an Indian philosopher who participated in the Bahudakshina Yajna organised by the King Janaka of Mithila at his court.
[1] Artabhaga was the second Brahmin scholar in the Bahudakshina Yajna organised at the court of King Janaka in Mithila, who debated and asked questions to the sage Yajnavalkya.
Artabhaga also asked many questions with the sage Yajnavalkya related to the Vedic philosophy but was unable to defeat him.
In the Shastrartha, Artabhaga first asked the number of Grahas and Atigrahas with the sage Yajnavalkya.
The first Graha he mentioned was Prāṇa, that is nose, which is controlled by the Atigraha of Apāna, that is odour.
