Dharmatāśīla, also known as Chönyi Tsültrim (T. chos nyid tshul khrims ཆོས་ཉིད་ཚུལ་ཁྲིམས་). A Tibetan translator and editor active in the late eighth and early ninth centuries, he translated a dozen important sūtras in the Tibetan Kangyur.[1]

His translations include the Vimalakirti Sutra and the Samādhirājasūtra.

He was also a contributor to the Drajor Bampo Nyipa, an early ninth century edict and manual defining translation methodology.[1] (See Mahāvyutpatti.)
