On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v2.c22.s4.4

v2.c22.s4.4

Of the great Buddhist scholar and controversialist here mentioned by the name Bhadraruchi, (translated Hsien-ai (賢愛) or "Eminent affection") nothing seems to be known beyond what we learn from our pilgrim's narrative. Yuan-chuang styles this man "a bhikshu of West India", and the Bhadraruchi of our passage seems to resemble in some circumstances the Bhadrānanda of Tāranātha.
