Definition in this text:

A Jain who features prominently in the sūtra The Range of the Bodhisattva (Toh 146, Satyaka Sūtra). The Buddha states that he is a bodhisattva who takes on various forms to aid beings. Also translated elsewhere as bden pa po and bden par smra ba. The latter term is reconstructed into Sanskrit as Satyavādin by Lozang Jamspal in his translation of the Satyaka Sūtra.
