**Works of Ārya Deva.** We have already seen that Ārya Deva was one of the earliest scholars of Nālandā who had lived in about the fourth century A.D. He was the author of three works, all of which are introduced to Tibet in its own language. His last work, known as *Madhyamaka-bhramaghāta-nāma*, was actually written by him at Nālandā, it is said, at the request of Hdsambuhi-glin-gi-rgyal-po (Jambudvīpa Raja) Sukhāchārya (*alias* Udayi, Sadvaha), and was translated into Tibetan by Upādhyāya Dīpaṁkara Śrī Jñāna (who was born in A.D. 980).
