Yudra Nyingpo.

Yudra Nyingpo (T. g.yu sgra snying po གཡུ་སྒྲ་སྙིང་པོ་) (8th century) was one of the chief disciples of Vairotsana and one of the principal translators during the early dissemination (snga dar) of Buddhism from India into Tibet.

Yudra Nyingpo became a great master of Dzogchen, particularly of the Semdé teachings.

The Rangjung Yeshe Dharma Dictionary states:

One of the twenty-five disciples of Guru Rinpoche; the reincarnation of Lekdrub of Tsang. Born in the region of Gyalmo Tsawarong, he was brought up by Vairochana and reached perfection in both learning and yogic accomplishment. He is counted among the 108 lotsawas and is one of the main lineage holders of the Mind Section of Dzogchen from the great translator Vairochana.[1]
