bio	Devendrarakṣita (Tib. rtsangs de wen dra rak+Shi ta; also gtsang de wen+d+ra rak+Shi ta) was a Tibetan translator and editor of the imperial period, active sometime between the eighth and ninth centuries. In the Kangyur he is named in the colophons of three sūtras: The Questions of Brahmaviśeṣacintin (Toh 160), Dispelling the Darkness of the Ten Directions (Toh 269), and The Sūtra of Nanda's Going Forth (Nandapravrajyāsūtra, Toh 328), the last of which he edited. His Tengyur translations pair root texts with their commentaries: Vasubandhu's Vyākhyāyukti (Toh 4061) with Guṇamati's commentary on it (Toh 4069), Vasubandhu's Karmasiddhiprakaraṇa (Toh 4062) with Sumatiśīla's commentary on it (Toh 4071), and Śākyaprabha's verses on the novice’s discipline of the Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya (Toh 4124) with Śākyaprabha’s own commentary, the Prabhāvatī (Toh 4125).
