Sahajavajra
ལྷན་ཅིག་སྐྱེས་པའི་རྡོ་རྗེ་
Indian author of tantric works who was a student of Maitrīpa and was known for a commentary on his teacher's work the Tattvadaśaka.
Mentioned in
The Mahāmudrā Interpretation of the ''Ratnagotravibhāga''
At least two of the masters who are mentioned in the context of the meditation tradition of Tsen are known to have given mahāmudrā explanations on the basis of nontantric Mahāyāna works. Besides Zhönu Pal, this can be also confirmed now for the Third Karmapa Rangjung Dorjé, who in his newly discovered Dharmadhātustotra commentary equates prajñāpāramitā with mahāmudrā, both being for him a defining characteristic of the dharmadhātu.
The ''Uttaratantra'' and Mahāmudrā
Brunnhölzl, Karl. "The Uttaratantra and Mahāmudrā." In When the Clouds Part: The Uttaratantra and Its Meditative Tradition as a Bridge between Sūtra and Tantra, 151–282. Boston: Snow Lion Publications, 2014.
As stated before, texts such as CMW, those by Mönlam Tsültrim, GC, the Eighth Karmapa’s Lamp, and GISM all establish connections between the Uttaratantra and Mahāmudrā. Such connections are also found in a number of Indian and Tibetan Mahāmudrā works. Usually, these connections are made in the wider context of the Mahāmudrā approaches that came to be called "sūtra Mahāmudrā" or "essence Mahāmudrā" (the Mahāmudrā approach that is beyond "sūtra Mahāmudrā" and "tantra Mahāmudrā").
