Śākyabuddhi (T. slob dbon shAkya'i blo[1][2]) (fl. 700 CE)[3] was a student of Devendrabuddhi and the author of the Pramāṇavārttikaṭīkā, a commentary on Dharmakirti's Pramāṇavārttika.[4][5]
Śākyabuddhi's name has also been 'sanskritized'[6] as Shakyamati.[5]
Ringu Tulku states:
- Dharmakirti asked his main student, Devindramati [Devendrabuddhi], to write commentaries on his seven books. Dharmakirti had already written an autocommentary on the first chapter of his Commentary on Valid Cognition, so Devindramati used Dharmakirti’s autocommentary as the first chapter of his own commentary, which is called the Twelve Thousand Stanzas on Valid Cognition. Then, Devindramati’s student, Shakyamati, wrote a commentary on the Twelve Thousand Stanzas.[5]
