Abhayadatta[1] (Tib. མི་འཇིགས་པ་སྦྱིན་པ་, mijikpa jinpa, Wyl. mi 'jigs pa sbyin pa), also known as Abhayakaragupta and Vajrasana,[2] was the author of a famous work on the lives of the eighty-four mahasiddhas.
- He composed many texts principally on Tantra explaining the rituals and practices of meditational systems: Vajravali, Nispannayogavali, Jyotirmanjari, etc. The collected biographies of the Eighty-four Mahasiddhas are also attributed to him either under his common name [Abhayakaragupta] or as Abhayadatta.[2]
