Dictionary Definition: 

[translation-san] Ānandagarbha

[translation-eng] {Hopkins} Ānandagarbha

[comments] Comment: Three Indian scholars are renowned especially for their works on Yoga Tantra, whom New Translation Schools consider the ""Three People Expert/Proficient in Yoga [Tantra]"" (yoga la mi mkhas pa gsum): Buddhaguhya (sangs rgyas gsang ba; fl. mid eighth century), Shākyamitra (shā kya bshes gnyen), and Ānandagarbha (kun dga' snying po; fl. late ninth or early tenth century). D#zong-ka-b#a relies on Ānandagarbha for Yoga Tantra but criticizes his interpretation of the Guhyasamāja Tantra.
