95 See P. Cordier (1903a); Vaidya Bhagwan Dash (1987). 96 The Tibetan equivalent of Candranandana is Zla-ba-la dgah-ba. See M. Taube (1981: 22) on the confusion of Zla-ba mnon-dgah and Zla-ba(-la) dgah-ba. 97 The Tibetan equivalent is, according to P. Cordier, Chags-la mnon-par dgah-ba in the Madanādinighaṇṭu, Chags-pa-la dgah-ba in the Padārthacandrikā; P. Cordier renders these names as Ravinandana, adding that Prema- or Ānandanandana are more literal translations. Vaidya Bhagwan Dash renders Chags-pa-la mnon-par dgah-ba as Ratyabhinandana; C. Vogel (1965: 15), who reads Chags-pa-la dgah-ba, gives Ratinandana as its Sanskrit equivalent (zla-ba is the Tibetan equivalent of Sanskrit candra, chags-pa of rati, mnon-par of abhi, and dgah-ba of nandana). 98 NCC VI, 355. See the colophon and translator's postscript to the Tibetan version of the Padārthacandrikā, where Candranandana's grandfather is called Mahāśrīnandana (Mooss's Intr. to the Madanādinighaṇṭu, 10). Compare on Candranandana's genealogy: L. Rabgay (1981): 16. 99 See the introduction to this commentary by Candranandana himself. 100 As indicated in the Tibetan translation of the Padārthacandrikā (see P. Cordier; C. Vogel, 1965: 15). Candranandana is regarded as a contemporary of king Abhimanyu II (A.D. 958–972) of Kaśmīr (see P. Cordier, 1909–15: *III, 472, referred to by C. Vogel, 1965: 15). The author's colophon and translator's postscript to the Tibetan translation of the Padārthacandrikā praise a king Thakhana, who is identified as the Śāhi ruler Thakkana, a contemporary of Abhimanyu II, against whom Yaśodhara, the latter's commander-in-chief, undertook a military expedition (Mooss's Intr. to the ed. of the Madanādinighaṇṭu, 9–11, based on information supplied by C. Vogel). 101 R.E. Emmerick (1977): 1136. C. Vogel (1965): 15. The colophon and postscript to the Tibetan translation of the Padārthacandrikā mention that it was made by the Indian professor Jārandhara and the monk Rin-chen bzań-po (Mooss's Intr. to the Madanādinighaṇṭu, 10). Vaidya Bhagwan Dash gives A.D. 1013 as the year in which this translation was made. P.V. Sharma (AVI 208) mentions the period 1033–35. See on Rin-chen bzań-po: Bhagwan Dash (1976): 44; T. Clifford (1984): Intr. XVI; G. Huth (1895a): 281; G.N. Roerich (1976; see index); D. Snellgrove (1987): II, 477–479; Tsepak Rigzin (1984); G. Tucci (1993); C. Vogel (1965: 20–21). 102 This biography has been translated into English: Rechung Rinpoche (1973). See on Candra(deva): Rechung (1973): 187, 203, 209, 228, 236, 243, 298. See on the Elder G-yu thog-pa: T. Clifford (1984): 56–58. See on the Elder and Younger G-yu thog-pa: W.A. Unkrig's Einführung to P.C. von Korvin-Krasinski (1953): 21–22. Compare the Tibetan sources on Nāgārjuna. 103 R.E. Emmerick (1977): 1163. Rechung (1973): 209–210. Bhagwan Dash calls the Candradeva, visited by the elder G-yu thog-pa, Candranandana (Bhagwan Dash, 1976: 4; 1987: Preface 8) and Candrābhinandana (Bhagwan Dash 1976: 15); he calls the latter a physician who may or may not be identical with Candranandana. C. Vogel (1965: 15–16) is of the opinion that Candranandana may or may not be identical with the physician Candrābhinandana (Zla-ba-la mnon-dgah), who is said to have assisted Vairocana in putting the Rgyud-bźi into Tibetan at the time of king Khri-sron lde bćan (A.D. 755–797), or with the medical lexicographer Candranandana. Lokesh Chandra (Intr. to Terry Clifford, 1984: 16) asserts that Candranandana rendered the Sanskrit original of the Rgyud-bźi into Tibetan. Terry Clifford too (1984: 42) is in error when claiming that Candranandana wrote down in Sanskrit the teaching of the Rgyud-bźi and gave it to the Tibetan translator
