Pang Lotsāwa Lodrö Tenpa
Pang Lotsāwa Lodro Tenpa (dpang lo tsA ba blo gros brtan pa) (b.1276 - d.1342) was a lama with the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was a student of Rongpa Sherab Sengge (rong pa shes rab seng ge, 1251-1315), Sakya Paṇḍita Kunga Gyeltsen, and other teachers.
He became particularly learned in the Kālacakra tradition and in Sanskrit grammar. He made multiple visits to Nepal to study Sankrit grammar and other topics.
He also studied the Kāvyādarśa (snyan ngag me long ma; "Mirror of Poetics"), a classic treatment of Indian poetic theory.
He translated several texts in the Tengyur and wrote an exposition of the Kālacakra (dus ’khor 'grel chen gyi bstod 'grel), the Exposition of Sanskrit Grammar Kalāpa (sgra ka lA pa'i 'grel pa), and the Exposition of the Mirror of Poetics (snyan ngag me long gi ’grel pa), among many other titles.
He also composed one of only four Tibetan commentaries on the Madhyāntavibhāga.
