Kumāraghoṣa (कुमारघोष).—Under the influence of the famous Buddhist sage of Bengal, Kumāraghoṣa who was the Guru of the Śailendras (Gauḍī-dvīpa-guru), the famous temple of Tārā was built in 778 A. D. Four years later an image of Mañjuśrī was dedicated by a royal priest from Gauḍa, who purified the Śailendra Emperor by the dust of his feet. The two inscriptions of Kalasan and Kelurak that testify to the above are inscribed in a North Indian script.
