Sage from Dublin bringing down leader? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rishi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'sage from dublin' is the first definition.
'rishi' can be an answer for 'sage' (term for a Hindu sage). I'm not certain of the 'from dublin' bit.

'down leader?' is the second definition.
'rishi' can be an answer for 'leader?' (I have seen 'Spiritual leader' mean 'rishi' so perhaps 'leader' could also mean 'rishi'). I am not certain of the 'down' bit.

'bringing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rishi that I've seen before include "Revered man" , "Poet" , "Spiritual leader" , "Guru" , "Hindu sage or saint" .)
