**5. Ratnākara.** Ratnākaraśānti, another ‘gate-keeper’, as we have seen, was first at Odantapura University where he received Ordination in the Sarvāstivāda School. Later, he joined Vikramaśīlā as a pupil of Jetāri. He went to Ceylon to preach Buddhism at the invitation of its king. He wrote about thirteen works in Sanskrit, among which may be mentioned "Vajra-bhairava-gaṇa-chakra-nāma" and "Śrī-sarva-rahasya-nibandha-rahasya-pradīpa-nāma".
