===Names according to the Abhayadatta Sri tradition===
According to Ulrich von Schroeder, Tibet has different traditions relating to the mahasiddhas. Among these traditions, two were particularly popular, namely the Abhayadatta Sri list and the so-called Vajrasana list. The number of mahasiddhas varies between eighty-four and eighty-eight, and only about thirty-six of the names occur in both lists. It is therefore also wrong to state that in Buddhism are 84 Mahasiddhas. The correct title should therefore be ''Names of the 84 Mahasiddhas according to the Abhayadatta Sri Tradition''. It should also be clearly stated that only Tibetan translations of this Sanskrit text ''Caturasiti-siddha-pravrtti'' (CSP) or ''The Lives of the Eighty-four Siddhas'' seem to have survived. This means that many Sanskrit names of the Abhayadatta Sri tradition had to be reconstructed and perhaps not always correctly.
