Kumudākaramati

Kumudākaramati (Tib. པཎྜི་ཏ་ཆེན་པོ་ཀུ་མུ་ཏ་འབྱུང་བའི་བློ་གྲོས་ཞབས, paṇḍita chen po ku mu ta 'byung ba'i blo gros zhabs) was an Indian tantric author credited with two short ritual works preserved in the Tengyur: The Compendium of Sādhanas (Skt. Sādhanasamuccaya; Tib. སྒྲུབ་ཐབས་ཀུན་ལས་བཏུས་པ), Toh 3400, translated by Yarlung Lotsāwa Drakpa Gyaltsen (1242–1346) as part of the larger "Ocean of Sādhanas" (Skt. Sādhanasāgara) collection — 245 short sādhanas translated as a set at Sakya in 1286, received via "the great paṇḍita Gautama" through "the great paṇḍita Kīrticandra," and closely related to the Sanskrit Sādhanamāla collection (ed. Bhattacharyya, Baroda, 1925) — and A Sādhana of the King of the Three Commitments (Skt. Trisamayarājasya sādhana; Tib. དམ་ཚིག་གསུམ་གྱི་རྒྱལ་པོའི་སྒྲུབ་པའི་ཐབས), Toh 3144, translated by the monk Tsultrim Gyaltsen (a disciple of Pa tshab) and by Abhayākaragupta; no biographical details — dates, place of activity, teachers or lineage — currently survive in the available catalog record, though his two attributed works share substantial ritual boilerplate (offering formulas, purification recitations built around the hundred-syllable mantra), suggesting a consistent liturgical idiom across his corpus, material later drawn on, at least in citation, by Śāntideva's Śikṣāsamuccaya under the general title "the holy Trisamayarāja."

Sādhana - Sādhana refers to a method of practice through which one can actualise a specific spiritual result, and by extension to the texts and manuals which present such methods. A sādhana in the Vajrayāna Buddhist context generally involves the worship and visualisation of a tantric deity, chanting of mantras, and associated practices. The practice often begins with verses of taking refuge and cultivating altruistic thought, then carrying out meditation on emptiness and the mandala of deity, seven-part worship, chanting of mantras, and finally the dissolution of the deity which was visualised.
