According to Karl Brunnhölzl in ''When the Clouds Part'': ::Parahitabhadra was a student of the Kashmirian Mahāpaṇḍita Somaśrī and also studied Madhyamaka with Ratnavajra. Parahitabhadra's main Indian student was Mahāsumati, and he also taught Ngog Lotsāwa, Patsab Lotsāwa, Sangkar Lotsāwa Pagpa Sherab (a student of Jñānaśrībhadra), Sherab Gyaltsen (a student of Atiśa), Shönnu Cho, Su Gawé Dorje, and Marpa Dopa. Together with these translators, Parahita translated or revised many sūtras, tantras, and treatises (more than twenty works in the ''Tengyur'', among them the ''Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra'' and the ''Dharmadharmatāvibhāga''). There is also evidence that he collaborated with Sajjana, as their common revision of the ''Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra'' shows. In addition, the ''Tengyur'' contains three works authored by Parahitabhadra (a ''Śūnyatāsaptativṛtti'', a ''Maṇḍalābhiṣekavidhi'', and a rather extensive commentary on the first two verses of the ''Mahāyānasūtrālaṃkāra''). Besides Kashmir, he was active in Toling in western Tibet. It seems that he was more of a Madhyamaka and Pramāṇa specialist, but there is no doubt that he was a part of the eleventh-century Kashmirian paṇḍita scene that was involved with the Maitreya texts and transmitted them to Tibet (he is also mentioned in one of the Tibetan transmission lineages of the Uttaratantra).
