From the author: The Kashmirian scholar Sakyasribhadra had an undeniably great impact on Tibetan cultural and intellectual history while in Tibet from 1204 to 1214. The editions of two biographical sketches of his life in Tibetan, one in verse, the other by way of its exegesis, published for the first time by David P. Jackson, shed invaluable light on a chronological niche of early thirteenth-century Tibetan intellectual history and create a basis for an appreciation of him as a major player therein. A number of other sources on his life, including the one on which the exegesis of his life in verse is ultimately based, were recently recovered from the vast collection of Tibetan texts of the China Nationalities Library of the Cultural Palace of Nationalities in Beijing. These allow us to contextualize much of the contents of these two treatises.
