Fakir
Fakir, faqeer, or faqīr (; (noun of faqr)), derived from ''faqr'' (, 'poverty'), is an Islamic term traditionally used for Sufi Muslim ascetics who renounce their worldly possessions and dedicate their lives to the worship of God.

The connotations of poverty associated with the term relate to their spiritual neediness, not necessarily their physical neediness. They are characterized by their reverence for '' dhikr'' (a devotional practice which consists of repeating the names of God with various formulas, often performed after the daily prayers).

Sage Atreya was a renowned scholar of Ayurveda, and a school of early Ayurveda was founded based on his teachings. Some historians of Ayurveda date Atreya to 6th century BCE, and theorize that he was the personal physician of the Gandhara king Nagnajita.
