Sanskrit proper name of an Indian translator of primarily Mahāyāna Buddhist texts into Chinese. Born in Oḍḍiyāna in northeastern India into the kṣatriya caste, Narendrayaśas was ordained at the age of seventeen and left on pilgrimage to the Buddhist sacred sites on the Indian subcontinent, his travels taking him as far as the Himalayas in the north and the island of Sri Lanka in the south. After residing at the Veṇuvanavihāra monastery in India for a decade, he eventually traveled north of the Himalayas to propagate Buddhism, before getting caught in the Turkic invasions that made it impossible for him to return home. Turning east through Central Asia, he ended up traveling along the Silk Road to China, arriving in the Northern Qi kingdom in 556. Residing at Tianpingsi at the request of Emperor Wenxuan (r. 550–559) and later at Daxingshansi in Chang'an, he translated some fourteen texts into Chinese, including the ''Karuṇāpuṇḍarīka'', ''Samādhirāja'', and the ''Mahāmeghasūtra''.
