**Padmasambhava.** We have already mentioned the other Professor of Nālandā, Padmasambhava, who was also requisitioned by the King of Tibet for preaching Buddhism. He came from Nālandā to Tibet in A.D. 747 and introduced the Tantrika element in Tibetan Buddhism. He was one of the prominent exponents of the Yogāchāra school of Tantrika cult. He is the author of "Samaya Pañchaśikā", which was translated into Tibetan.
