Sanghapāla (506–518 CE) was a famous Khmer monk who traveled to Southern and Northern Dynasties China.
He, along with the fellow Funan monk, Mandrasena, translated Buddhist scriptures such as the Vimuttimagga or Path to Freedom into Chinese.[1]: 58, 92
He is one of the only two Cambodian monks whose translations currently figure in the Tripitaka.[2]
