Names of the 84 mahasiddhas fromWikipedia, according to the Abhayadatta
Sri Tradition. Many Sanskrit names of the this tradition had to be reconstructed
and are perhaps not correct. Several of the Tibetan lineages of Buddhism
originate from Tibetans traveling to India to meet an enlightened master, a
mahasiddha.
The mahasiddhas are 80 male and four female masters. Please, take the time
to read the names of the masters. Some have very interesting meaning:
