Drogmi (Drogmi Lotsāwa Śākya Yeshe) (c. 992–1064) transmitted the tantric system "Path and Fruit" (Lamdré) which came to be the central esoteric tradition of the Sakya school of Tibetan Buddhism.[1] Drogmi was a famous scholar and translator who had studied at the Vikramashila monastery directly under Naropa, Ratnākaraśānti, Vagishvakirti and other great panditas from India for twelve years.[2] He is famous for his beard.[3]
