sarba dz+nyA de ba

According to traditional accounts, the Kashmiri abbot Sarvajñādeva was among the "one hundred" paṇḍitas invited by Trisong Deutsen (r. 755–797/800) to assist with the translation of the Buddhist scriptures into Tibetan. Sarvajñādeva assisted in the translation of more than twenty-three works, including numerous sūtras and the first translations of Śāntideva's Bodhicaryāvatāra and Nāgarjuna's Suhṛllekha. Much of this work was likely carried out in the first years of the ninth century and may have continued into the reign of Ralpachen, who ascended the throne in 815 and died in 838 or 841 CE. (See Dotson, 2007, for a summary of the imperial chronology between Trisong Deutsen's abdication in 797 and Ralpachen's ascension in 815).
