{{Vajrayana}}
The ''Caturasiti-siddha-pravrtti'' (CSP), “The Lives of the Eighty-four Siddhas”, compiled by Abhayadatta Sri, a Northern Indian Sanskrit text dating from the 11th or 12th century, comes from a tradition prevalent in the ancient city-state of Campa in the modern state of Bihar. Only Tibetan translations of this Sanskrit text seem to have survived. This text was translated into Tibetan by sMon grub Shes rab and is known as the ''Grub thob brgyad cu rtsa bzhi’i lo rgyus'' or “The Legends of the Eighty-four Siddhas”. It has been suggested that Abhayadatta Sri is identical with the great Indian scholar [[Abhayakaragupta|Mahapandita Abhayakaragupta]] (late 11th–early 12th century), the compiler of the iconographic compendiums ''Vajravali'', ''Nispannayogavali'', and ''Jyotirmanjari''.

The other major Tibetan tradition is based on the list contained in the ''Caturasiti-siddhabhyarthana'' (CSA) by Ratnakaragupta of Vajrasana, identical with Bodhgaya (Tib.: rDo rje gdan) located in Bihar, Northern India. The Tibetan translation is known as ''Grub thob brgyad cu rtsa bzhi’i gsol ’debs '' by rDo rje gdan pa. There exist several Tibetan versions of the list of mahasiddhas based on the Vajrasana text. However, these Tibetan texts differ in many cases with regard to the Tibetan transcriptions of the Indian mahasiddhas names.<ref name="vonSchroeder2006">{{harvp|von Schroeder|2006}}.</ref>
