Guṇabhadra was another great Indian scholar who came to China about the end of the fifth century to dedicate himself to the cause of Buddhism. He was a Brāhmaṇa of "Central India" and was nicknamed Mahāyāna for his mastery of its literature. In eight years (A.D. 435–443), he translated into Chinese as many as seventy-eight works. He died at 75 in A.D. 468.
