Does anyone know if Tāranātha's biography of Buddhagupta is in English translation? I have Tāranātha's "History of Buddhism in India" (Lama Chimpa, Alaka Chattopadhyaya translation), and his "Seven Instruction Lineages" (David Templeman translation), neither of which include sections on Buddhagupta (unless I'm just missing them somehow).
I am trying to do research on Buddhagupta. I've found a few articles online, like this one, this one, and this one. My understanding is that Tāranātha wrote a full biography of Buddhagupta. I thought maybe David Templeman did a translation, but I must be mistaken. Any English translations you know of? My search has come up empty.

Tāranātha's biography of Buddhagupta?
May all sentient beings have happiness and its causes,
May all sentient beings be free of suffering and its causes,
May all sentient beings never be separated from bliss without suffering,
May all sentient beings be in equanimity, free of ignorance, attachment and aversion.

Becoming Indian : a study of the life of the 16-17th century Tibetan Lama, Tāranātha
http://www.worldcat.org/title/becoming- ... /816311168The focus of this study does not fall exclusively upon Tāranātha himself, although that is the main context. It also examines two Indian siddhas, Sāntigupta and Buddhaguptanātha, through whom Tāranātha authenticated and legitimized his own sense of 'Indian-ness'. Two chapters are dedicated to the lives of these figures, but always with an accent upon their relevance to Tāranātha himself. Tāranātha's Life of Buddhaguptanātha is presented as a translation in Appendix II
