bio Dharmaśrīprabha (Tib. d+harma shrI pra b+hA; BDRC P8574) was an Indian paṇḍita of the Tibetan imperial period, active between the eighth and ninth centuries. With the Tibetan translator Dpal gyi lhun po, he translated the Buddhapiṭakaduḥśīlanigrahanāmamahāyānasūtra (Toh 220) at the Lhan kar palace, as well as Āryaśūra's Praṇidhānasaptati (smon lam bdun cu pa).

He is probably the same Dharmaśrīprabha named in the Derge colophon of Nāgārjuna's Śālistambakamahāyānasūtraṭīkā (Toh 3986), which he translated with Legs pa'i blo gros and Ye shes gzhon nu, with revision by Dpal brtsegs. The identification rests on the shared name and period. No catalog yet links the two records, and the collaborators differ. The Peking and Narthang Tengyurs give his name as Dharmaśrībhadra, but he should not be confused with the 10th–11th-century translator Dharmaśrībhadra, who worked with Rin chen bzang po.
