Jetāri
940 – 980
Jitāri. [alt. Jetāri] (T. Dgra las rnam rgyal) (fl. c. 940-980). Sanskrit proper name of the author of the Hetutattopadeśa and a number of short works on pramāṇa in the tradition that follows Dharmakīrti; later Tibetan doxographers . . . characterize him as interpreting Dharmakīrti's works from a

Madhyamaka perspective, leading them to include him in a Yogācāra-Svātantrika-Madhyamaka school following the false aspect (alīkākara) position. A Jitāri also appears in the list of the eighty-four mahāsiddhas as a tantric adept; he is also listed as a teacher of Atiśa Dīpaṃkaraśrījñāna. (Source: "Jitāri."
