Notes

There is a conjecture concerning this master, see Taranatha in phyag drug pa'i chos skor byung tshul.

Note that advayavajra = gnyis med rdo rje and atulyavajra = mi mnyam rdo rje
ataya nor adāya can't be found in sankrit dictionaries. Taranatha says that adāya (or ataya) means kun tu sbyin pa or mchog tu byams pa but this information could not be verified.
Note that gnyis med rdo rje is a name of Maitripa.
According to the biography of Khyungpo Neljor, Atayavajra transmitted: rdo rje rnam 'joms kyi sprul pa'i dkyil 'khor du dbang / rnam 'joms kyi rgyud + sgrub thabs (vajravidāraṇa tantra) / (rdo rje sgrol ma) lha bcu gcig sgrub thabs / lha lnga sgrub thabs / lha gcig ma'i sgrub thabs.
