梵名 Haribhadra。为八世纪中叶之印度学僧。出身于刹帝利阶级。于德瓦巴拉王(梵 Devapāla)之世,出家为僧,博通内外学,尤精于般若。尝从维卢左曩帕哆拉(梵 Vairocanabhadra)习弥勒之忏悔法。一日,忽梦一僧劝其赴卡莎路巴纳(梵 Khasarpana),醒后乃断食三日以省察梦境。复梦处身于奥丹塔普利寺(梵 Odantapuri)中,时有一神人,仅现上半身,于云中躬身礼拜。师乃问其缘由,神人告以正礼拜解说八千颂般若(梵 Astasāhasrikā)之弥勒。未久,师即见弥勒,全身金色,以支提饰头,手结说法印,师叩之以弥勒所著现观庄严论(梵 Abhisamayālajkāra)之多数注书中,究竟应以何本为准,弥勒乃谓:待领会全部注书后,再自其中别作注书。师以此因缘,梦醒后乃发愤搜览撰著。其名望为当时之马希巴拉王(梵 Mahīpāla)所重,王复召请至都城,俾令专事著作。所撰之注疏甚伙,较著者有 Vimuktasena 注、二万五千颂般若(梵 Pañcavij?atisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā)之注、八千颂般若释现观庄严明(梵 Astasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā-vyākhyā, Abhisamayālajkārāloka)、薄伽梵功德宝集颂难语释(梵 Bhagavad-ratnagunasañcaya-gāthā nāma pañjikā)、转声颂(梵 Vibhakti-kārikā)等,大多现存于西藏大藏经丹珠尔中。[?rī Sarat Chandra Das: Pag Sam Jon Zang; F.A.
