Jayananda (Skt. Jayānanda; Tib. རྒྱལ་བ་ཀུན་དགའ, Gyalwa Künga, Wyl. rgyal ba kun dga') (11th-12th c.) was an Indian scholar and the author of an important commentary on the Introduction to the Middle Way (Skt. Madhyamakāvatāra).
Jayananda went to Tibet, and at Sangphu Neuthok met and debated madhyamaka subjects with the great translator Ngok Lekpé Sherab, one of Atisha’s translators and disciples. Jayananda lost the debate and he returned very discouraged to India, where he engaged in a practice of Manjushri for many years. Eventually Manjushri appeared to him in a vision, and he became a great scholar. He went back to debate with Ngok Lekpé Sherab again, but by that time, he had died. Subsequently, Jayananda wrote his large commentary on the Madhyamakavatara[1].
