Kumāralāta. Some Chinese sources identify a teacher named *Kumāralāta (究摩羅陀), as the "first teacher of the Sautrāntikas." Kumāralāta is also identified as the teacher of Harivarman (250-350 CE), the author of the Tattvasiddhi Śāstra.[1]
He is also identified as one of the four great Ābhidharmikas of the Mahāyāna tradition, within the Chinese tradition.[2]
