'''Gunabhadra''' (394–468) ({{zh|p=Qiúnàbátuóluó|w=Ch'iu-na-pa-t'o-lo|s=求那跋陀罗|t=求那跋陀羅}}) was a [[bhikkhu|monk]] of [[Mahayana|Mahayana Buddhism]] from [[Magadha]], [[India]]. He traveled to China by sea with [[Gunavarma]] in 435. They were both treated as honored guests by [[Emperor Wen of Liu Song]], the ruler of [[Northern and southern China|South China]] at the time. In China, he translated one of the key [[Mahayana sutras]], the ''[[Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra]]'', from [[Sanskrit]] to [[Chinese language|Chinese]], and the sutra “Bimashōkyō”, which forms "a volume from the Issaikyō (a Buddhist corpus), commonly known as Jingo-ji kyō," as it was handed down at the [[Jingo-ji]] temple.<ref name=bimashokyo>{{cite web|last=Guṇabhadra, 394-468|title=Buddhist Sutra “Bimashōkyō”|url=http://www.wdl.org/en/item/11846/|work=[[World Digital Library]]}}</ref> <br />
Before translating the ''Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra'', he translated another important sutra, the ''[[The Collation and Annotation of Saṃyuktāgama|Saṃyuktāgama]]'' into Chinese. He continued to be active in other translations and preaching.<br />
