'''Kawa Paltsek''' (Tib. [[སྐ་བ་དཔལ་བརྩེགས་]], [[Wyl.]] ''ska ba dpal brtsegs'') — one of the [[twenty-five disciples of Guru Rinpoche]]. He was born in Kawa in Phenpo Valley. He was ordained by the great abbot [[Shantarakshita]] and became one of the greatest Tibetan translators. With [[pandita]]s such as Jñanagarbha and Vidyakarasimha, he translated the [[prajnaparamita]] and other [[mahayana]] [[sutra]]s and [[Haribhadra]]’s major commentary on the ''[[Abhisamayalankara]]'' known as ''[[Sphutartha]]''. He collaborated with Vidyakaraprabha in translating treatises on [[Madhyamika]] and [[logic]]; and with [[Jinamitra]], he translated [[Vasubandhu]]’s ''[[Abhidharmakosha]]'' and commentary. Together with Sarvajñadeva, he was the first to translate the ''[[Bodhicharyavatara]]'' into Tibetan. He also translated many [[tantra]]s later collected in the [[Nyingma Gyübum]].

Along with [[Chokro Lüi Gyaltsen]], he was sent to India by king [[Trisong Detsen]] to invite [[Vimalamitra]] to Tibet. He later received the [[Vima Nyingtik]] teachings from Vimalamitra in [[Samyé]].
