bio	Yamāri (also transliterated as Jamāri; ca. 1000–1060) was an eminent eleventh-century Buddhist scholar and a major representative of the Buddhist epistemology school (Pramāṇavāda). He is renowned as the author of the Pramāṇavārttikālaṅkāranibandha (also known as Pramāṇavārttikālaṅkāraṭīkā Supariśuddhā, "The Thoroughly Purified Commentary"), which is the second and last major commentary on Prajñākaragupta's Pramāṇavārttikālaṅkāra. Yamāri's work applies Buddhist logic to fundamental religious questions including the reliability of the Buddha, the existence of God, karma and rebirth, and the path to liberation. His commentary was long considered lost in its original Sanskrit and was known only through Tibetan translation until a Sanskrit manuscript was recently discovered preserved in Lhasa, with a photocopy held at the China Tibetology Research Center (CTRC) in Beijing.
