Jñānagupta (C. shenajueduo 闍那崛多). An Indian monk and translator from Gandhara. Around 559, during the reign of the Sui dynasty, he traveled to China together with with his teacher Jñānayaśas and fellow monk-translator Yaśogupta.[1][2]
He subsequently translated many Indian Buddhist texts into the Chinese language. About 35 of his translations are still extant and are included in the Chinese Canon.[1]
Jñānagupta's translation of the Lotus Sutra included sections that did not appear in an earlier translation by Kumarajiva.[1] He also translated the Vimalakirti Sutra and other texts.[1]
