Suvarṇadvīpa Dharmakīrti (T. gser gling pa chos kyi grags pa) (c. 10th century)[1] was an Indian scholar and author.
The name Suvarṇadvīpa Dharmakīrti means "Dharmakirti of Suvarnadvipa." He is also known by the following names:[2]
- Dharmakīrtiśrī (T. Chos kyi grags pa dpal)
- Kulānta (T. Rigs sbyin)
In the Tibetan tradition, he is commonly known as "Serlingpa" (gser gling pa), literally, "man from Suvarṇadvīpa."
He was one of the three main teachers of Atisa. Atisa is said to have traveled to Suvarnadvipa to meet with Suvarṇadvīpa Dharmakīrti, and subsequently spent twelve years studying with him.
Suvarṇadvīpa Dharmakīrti is credited as the author of the Durbodhāloka, a commentary on the Abhisamayālaṃkāravivṛti by Haribhadra.[2]
