bio	According to Akasoy, Burnett, and Yoeli-Tlalim (eds.) in their book Islam and Tibet (2011, 125), Sumatikīrti "is well known as a pundit who worked on translations, belonging to the 'later spreading' (phyi-dar) period, which begins in the last decades of the tenth century. He stayed in the Nepal Valley, and it is not certain if he ever set foot in Tibet, perhaps not. Given the dates of the Tibetan translators with whom he worked, he must have been active in the last part of the eleventh century. It is known that Mar-pa Do-pa Chos-kyi-dbang-phyug (dates not certain, but perhaps 1042–1136) studied with Sumatikīrti, among others, in Nepal. Rngog Lo-tsā-ba Blo-ldan-shes-rab (1059–1109) also is known to have worked with Sumatikīrti." Sumatikīrti is responsible, along with Rngog blo ldan shes rab, for a second revision of the Bodhicaryāvatāra.
