Saraha
Saraha, Sarahapa, Sarahapāda (Tibetan: མདའ་བསྣུན་, Wylie: mda' bsnun, THL: danün, lit. 'The Archer'), (c. 8th century CE) was an Indian Buddhist Mahasiddha and poet. The name Saraha means "the one who has shot the arrow.". According to one, scholar, "This is an explicit reference to an incident in many versions of his biography when he studied with a dakini disguised as a low-caste arrow smith. Metaphorically, it refers to one who has shot the arrow of non duality into the heart of duality." Saraha is considered to be one of the founders of Vajrayana Buddhism, particularly the Mahāmudrā tradition associated with the mind teachings of Tibet. Read more on Wikipedia
