−	~~'''Vairotsana''' (~~[[~~rnam par snang mdzad lo tsa ba~~]]). The great and unequalled translator during the reign of [[King Trisong Deutsen]]. Vairotsana, (also pronounced be-ro-tsa-na), was recognized by [[Padmakara]] as a reincarnation of an Indian [[pandita]]. He was among the first seven monks and was sent to India to study with [[Shri Singha]]. Shri Singha in turn entrusted Vairotsana with the task of propagating the [[Mind Section]] and [[Space Section]] of [[Dzogchen]] in Tibet. He is one of the three main masters to bring the Dzogchen teachings to Tibet, the two others being [[Padmakara]] and [[Vimalamitra]]. Vairotsana's chief disciples were [[Yudra Nyingpo]], [[Sangtön Yeshe Lama]], [[Pang Gen Sangye Gönpo]], [[Jnana Kumara of Nyag]], and [[Lady Yeshe Drönma]]. An especially renowned disciple was the old [[Pang Gen Mipham Gönpo]] whose disciples attained the [[rainbow body]] for seven generations by means of the oral instructions entitled [[Dorje Zampa]], the [[Vajra Bridge]]. [[Tsele Natsok Rangdröl]], [[Terdag Lingpa Gyurmey Dorje]], and [[Jamgön Kongtrül Lodrö Thaye]] are regarded as reincarnations of Vairotsana.	+	See [[Longchenpa]]
