Jñānaśrībhadra
ज्ञानश्रीभद्र
1000 – 1100
Jñānaśrībhadra was from Kashmir and active in the 11th century. In addition to his commentary on the Laṅkāvatārasūtra, he wrote a commentary on Maitreyanātha's Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra (Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkārapiṇḍārtha) and a commentary on Dharmakīrti's Pramāṇaviniścaya (Pramāṇaviniścayaṭīkā). He translated his own commentaries into Tibetan with the assistance of the translator Khyung po Chos kyi brtson 'grus, and also translated Dharmakīrti's Vādanyāya with the help of Rma Lo tsā ba.

His Pramāṇaviniścayaṭīkā is dated approximately 1050–1100 and is one of two surviving Indian commentaries on the Pramāṇaviniścaya, the other being the Pramāṇaviniścayaṭīkā of Dharmottara (ca. 750–800).
