'''Dignaga''' (Skt. ''Dignāga'';  Tib. [[ཕྱོགས་ཀྱི་གླང་པོ་]], [[Wyl.]] ''phyogs kyi glang po''; Tib. ''chok kyi langpo'') (circa 6th century AD) was one of the six great commentators (the ‘[[Six Ornaments]]’) on the Buddha’s teachings. He was one of the four great disciples of [[Vasubandhu]] who each surpassed their teacher in a particular field. Dignaga was more learned than Vasubandhu in [[pramāṇa]]. His reputation as unequalled in [[debate]] was cemented through his celebrated victory over the brahmin named Sudurjaya at [[Nalanda|Nālandā monastery]].

Among his disciples was Iśvarasena, who later became the teacher of [[Dharmakīrti]].

==Writings==
His early (extant) works were:
* The Abhidharmakośa-marma-pradīpa - a condensed summary of [[Vasubandhu]]'s seminal work
* A brief summary of the Aṣṭasāhasrika-prajñāpāramitā sūtra

His remaining works were all pertaining to logic:
* Ālambana-parīkṣā
* Trikāla-parikṣa
* Hetu-cakra-samarthana
* Nyāyamukha
* [[Compendium of Valid Cognition]] (''Pramāṇa-samuccaya''), which was a condensation of all these works
