The guru/disciple order
I think Indhrabuti taught Tilopa, not the other way. As the legends go, Tilopa came to India to learn from many gurus. I will change later if no one disagrees. I can't prove it yet, but am pretty sure. la gaie (talk) 02:30, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Indrabhuti, the oldest known king of Sambalpur OF THE Oddiyan(present day Orissa)region of eastern India (Sambalpur is an ancient town mentioned in the book of Ptolemy (2nd Century CE) and from the records of Xuanzang as the city of 'Sambalaka' situated on the left bank of river "Manada" now known as Mahanadi) founded vajrayana while his sister who was married to yuvaraja Jalendra of Lankapuri (Suvarnapur) founded Sahajayana. These new Tantric cults of Buddhism introduced Mantra, Mudra and mandala along with six Tantric Abhicharas (practices) such as Marana, Stambhana, sammohana, Vidvesan, Uchchatana and Vajikarana. The Tantric Buddhist sects made efforts to raise the dignity of the lowest of the low of the society to a higher plane. It revived primitive beliefs and practices a simpler and less formal approach to the personal god, a liberal and respectful attitude towards women and denial of caste system.

From the seventh century A.D. onwards many popular religious elements of heterogeneous nature were incorporated into Mahayana Buddhism which finally resulted in the origin of Vajrayana, Kalachakrayana and Sahajayana Tantric Buddhism. Tantric Buddhism first developed in Uddiyana, a country which was divided into two kingdoms Sambhala and lankapuri.Sambhala has been identified with Sambalpur and Lankapuri with Suvarnapura (Sonepur). Many celebrated Vajrayana Acharyas like Sarah, Hadipa, Dombi, Heruka, Tantipa and Luipa came from the so-called despised classes. The cult exerted a tremendous influence over the tribal and despised classes of people of Sambalpur Bolangir region. It was in the 9th/10th century A.D. that there appeared seven famous Tantric maidens at Patna (Patnagarh) region which was then called Kuanri-Patana. These maidens are popularly known as Satvaheni (Seven sisters), namely, Gyanadei Maluni, Luhakuti, Luhuruni, Nitei Dhobani, Sukuti Chamaruni, Patrapindhi Savaruni, Gangi Gauduni and sua Teluni. They hailed from so-called the low castes of the society and were followers of Lakshminkara.11 Because of their miraculous power and feats; they have been later on deified and worshipped by the folk people.


 * As an Inclusionist I shy from removing information from articles but as this is so wide ranging and not Indrabhuti specific I resolved to place it for the interim on the chittychat page. B9 hummingbird hovering (talk • contribs) 00:56, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
