Jñānadatta
ཡེ་ཤེས་བྱིན་
Jñānadatta (Tib. Ye shes byin) was an Indian author of the Tibetan imperial period or earlier, known only as the author of the Āryacaturdharmakavyākhyānaṭīkā (Tib. 'Phags pa chos bzhi pa'i rgya cher bshad pa'i rgya cher 'grel pa; Toh 3990a). This subcommentary explains Vasubandhu's Āryacaturdharmakavyākhyāna (Toh 3990), a commentary on the Caturdharmakasūtra (Toh 251). It was translated into Tibetan by the Indian preceptors Dānaśīla and Prajñāvarman with the chief editor-translator Ye shes sde in the late eighth or early ninth century. Nothing further is known of his life.
