Krishna (Tib. ནག་པོ་, Wyl. nag po), the sixth patriarch, was entrusted with the dharma by Dhitika, the fifth patriarch. Together with five hundred followers, Krishna expounded the dharma in Shri Lanka (Ceylon) at the request of the king. When he passed into nirvana he entrusted the teachings to the arhat, Sudarshana. ^[1]
