'''Shribhadra''' (Tib. དཔལ་བཟང་པོ་, Skt. ''Śrībhadra''; Tib. ''Pal Zangpo''; [[Wyl.]] ''dpal bzang'') — one of the [[Sixteen Arhats]].

Shri Bhadra's father served the [[Shuddhodana|Buddha's father]] as a charioteer, and he wished for a son to become Prince Gautama's charioteer. Later, when Gautama became the [[Buddha]], he promised that if he had a son, that son would become a monk. Shri Bhadra was born and grew up to be a renowned scholar, later upon hearing of his father's promise, he gladly became a monk. Accumulating [[merit]] and practising with diligence he became an [[arhat]] renowned for his teaching and meritorious actions. He lives on an island in the Yamuna River, a tributary of the Ganges, with 1,200 arhats.

His right hand is in the [[mudra of teaching the Dharma|Dharma-teaching mudra]] which enables the understanding of [[compassion]] and [[emptiness]]. His left is in the [[meditation mudra]] which develops the [[wisdom]] of correct discernment of the paths to overcome habitual patterns.
