Vaijavāk is Mādhava born again. The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells that after Akbara gained the kingdom, his seven beloved disciples of the former birth, Keśava, Mādhava, Madhu, Devāpi, Somapā, Sūra and Madana, were born again and came to his court. Keśava became Gānasena, and Mādhava became famous as Vaijavāk. Madhu became Haridāsa Gāyaka, the knower of all rāgas.
