BnwShortPersonBio	Dharmagupta. (C. Damojiduo; J. Darumagyüta; K. Talmagüpta 達摩笈多) (d. 619). A South Indian monk-translator who traveled to China during the Sui dynasty; sometimes known by his abbreviated name Jiduo. Arriving in the Chinese Capital of Chang’an in 590, he set to translating several scriptures into Chinese, including sütras on the buddha B hai$ajyaguru, one of the later recensions of the Sad d h arm ap un p arIk asü tra, which he cotranslated with Jñ àn agu p ta, and Vasubandhu’s commentary on the V ajracchedikA prajñàpA ram itàsütra. Some ten different translations are attributed to him. He should be distinguished from the Dharmagupta (c. third Century bce) who was the eponymous founder of the D h arm agu p tak a school.
