匝蘭達拉， »手握鳥巢的人 »，是古印度金剛乘八十四大成就者之一….
匝蘭達拉與藏密系統與印度納特瑜珈的譜系有直接相關，在其他故事中，他被認為是濕婆神的弟子，或者是濕婆神本身。
在金剛乘的系統，匝蘭達拉是托塔地區的一位婆羅門人，因為對世間名利感到厭離，於是獨坐墓園樹下，遙望熙攘人群，升起強烈出離心，從而體會自性大樂。而後空行母授予他喜金剛灌頂，如是禪修七年，證得大手印，利益無量眾生後，與三百同伴進入空行淨土。
在納特瑜珈系統中，他則是出生於低種性的家庭，他的上師是堪巴拉。一日聽見上天的聲音，指示他前往烏地壓納禪修方可達到圓滿境地，並在該處受到國王印札菩提、公主拉倩噶拉以及阿闍黎卡卡巴達 (Kackapāda) 教授密續，經過十天禪定，開啟了通往上樂金剛的壇城以及獲得空行母灌頂，證得大手印成就。他後來在匝蘭達拉一個水石之間出火處廣行利生，也因此他被稱為匝蘭達拉尊者。(維基百科)
Jalandhara was a Brahmin from Turkhara City who was of great spirituality. The more refined his consciousness became, the more disgusted he was for the life he saw around him. At last, he left everything behind and went to live in a cremation ground.
There, he sat under a tree and began to meditate. Soon, he was absorbed into a blissful state in which he heard a dakini speaking to him from the skies. When she spoke to him, he was overjoyed and prayed to his dakini-guru until she manifested before him. She gave him the Hevajra initiation and empowerment, with instructions to gather all perceptions and place them in the subtle planes of body, speech and mind. She further instructed him to meditate upon the indivisibility of appearances and emptiness.
Jalandhara meditated for 7 years according to the instructions. At last he gained mahamudra-siddhi. Many years later, after working selflessly for untold beings, he was assumed bodily into the Paradise of the Dakinis with 300 disciples.
