Shakyashri aka Shakyashri-bhadra (Skt. Śākyaśrī-bhadra) (~1127-1225) aka Kaché Panchen (Tib. kha che pan chen) was a major Kashmiri sutra and yoginitantra commentator. Shakyashri travelled together with nine [[Pandita]]s to Tibet in 1204 on the invitation of Tropu Lotsawa Rinchen Sengé (khro phu lo tsA ba rin chen seng+ge, b. 1173). Shakyashri remained for 10 years in Tibet, during which time he gave many empowerment and teachings. Likely around 1204, he met [[Sakya Pandita]] Kunga Gyaltsen (sa skya paN Di ta kun dga' rgyal mtshan, 1182-1251). In 1214 Shakyashri returned to Kashmir.[1] The Tengyur lists 23 works attributed to Shakyashri as an author.[2] On their translation worked mainly Lotsawa Champa Pal (Tib. Lo tsā ba Byams pa dpal, 1173-1225)[3] and Lotsawa Rabchok Palzang (Tib. Rab mchog dpal bzang).[4]
