The former appears to have been a native of Conjevaram and a contemporary of Kâlidâsa. Diṅnâga spent much time in Nâlanda, and though the Sanskrit originals of his works are lost the Tibetan translations are preserved. The Buddhist schools of logic continued for many centuries. One flourished in Kashmir and another, founded by Candragomin, in Bengal.
It is from Hardy that we are able to complete here the name of the musician, which appears in Fa-Hsien as only Pancha, or "Five." His harp or lute, we are told, was "twelve miles long." Whether it was Sakra who wrote his questions, or Buddha who wrote the answers, depends on the punctuation. It seems better to make Sakra the writer. Or Nalanda; identified with the present Baragong.
For collecting the suttas they relied on the testimony of Ânanda and asked him where the Brahmajâla was spoken. He replied "between Râjagaha and Nâlanda at the royal rest-house at Ambalatthika." "Concerning whom was it spoken?" "Suppiya, the wandering ascetic and Brahmadatta the young Brahman."
The change probably occurred in the next half century for Padma-Sambhava, the founder of Lamaism who is said to have resided in Gaya and Nalanda and to have arrived in Tibet in 747 A.D., is represented by tradition as a tantric wizard, and about the same time translations of Tantras begin to appear in Chinese.
