In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: Wisdom Library: Lokottarav膩daSucandra (啶膏啶氞え啷嵿う啷嵿ぐ, 鈥渂eautiful moon鈥�) refers to a type of gemstone described in the 鈥渢he second Avalokita-s奴tra鈥� of the 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻. Accordingly, when the Buddha (as a Bodhisattva) visited the bodhi-tree, several hunderd thousands of devas, in their place in the sky, adorned the Bodhisattva with several celestial substances. Then some of them envisioned the bodhi-tree as sparkling with sucandra gems.
The stories found in this part of the 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 correspond to the stories from the 补惫颈诲奴谤别-苍颈诲腻苍补 section of the Nid膩na-kath膩. The 惭补丑腻惫补蝉迟耻 is an important text of the Lokottarav膩da school of buddhism, dating from the 2nd century BCE.

These spiritual friends included monks, bodhisattvas, 峁涐梗颈蝉, 产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺蝉, girls, kings, youths, goddesses, householders (e.g., Sucandra), etc. From these beings, Sudhana took the vows without the need for any formal basis.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhist Teachers, Deities and other Spiritual beings1) Sucandra (啶膏啶氞え啷嵿う啷嵿ぐ) refers to one of the 鈥�Seven Dharma kings鈥� (Tibetan: chos rgyal bdun) as well as the 鈥�Thirty-two kings of Shambhala鈥�, according to the Tibetan oral recounting and written texts such as the Kalachakra Tantra (办腻濒补肠补办谤补迟补苍迟谤补), dealing with the Buddhist conception of the end of the world and time.鈥擳he Tibetan mythic land (the kingdom of Shambhala) is a parallel world invisible and inaccessible to common people which is closely related to the teaching about the Wheel of Time (dus 'khor). The seven Dharmarajas [e.g., Sucandra] and twenty-five Kulikas are the traditional rulers of Shambhala, passing on the reign from father to son.
Sucandra is also known as Dharmaraja Suchandra, Candrabhadra (wrong spelling) and in Tibetan as (1) Dawa Zangpo (Sangpo) [zla ba bzang po] (2) Chogyal Dawazang [chos rgyal zla ba bzang] and in Mongolian as: Khaan Davaasanbo. His traditional reign is considered to be from 879 to 876 BC. Sucandra is further considered to be an emanation of 痴补箩谤补辫腻峁噄.
2) 厂耻肠补苍诲谤腻 (啶膏啶氞え啷嵿う啷嵿ぐ啶�) is the name of Vidy膩r膩j帽墨 (i.e., 鈥渨isdom queen鈥�) mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Ma帽ju艣r墨m奴lakalpa: one of the largest Kriy膩 Tantras devoted to Ma帽ju艣r墨 (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Ma帽ju艣r墨 and were taught to and by Buddha 艢膩kyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including 厂耻肠补苍诲谤腻).
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
India history and geography
: Project Gutenberg: Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Volume 1Suchandra (鈥渕oon鈥�) or Chandra Sishta or Chandra or Vannavamsam is one of the exogamous septs (divisions) among the Komatis (a trading caste of the Madras Presidency). The Komatis are said to have originally lived, and still live in large numbers on the banks of the Godavari river. One of the local names thereof is Gomati or Gomti, and the Sanskrit Gomati would, in Telugu, become corrupted into Komati. The sub-divisions are split up into septs (viz., Suchandra), which are of a strictly exogamous character.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
