Sadhu

Hindi to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
I'm not sure it's a Hindi word. It's to be found in an Akbar and Birbal tale.

"...he noticed a sadhu lying in the centre of his garden"

yes it is hindi word. the actual meaning of 'sadhu' is 'Pious' or 'very honest person'.But in colloquial language(and also here) it is applied for sage. the another hindi word is "MUNI" which is synonim of 'sadhu'.
