碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 had his education under the supervision of the best teachers of his time. His own works are informative in this regard. In the 础耻肠颈迟测补惫颈肠腻谤补肠补谤肠腻^[1], 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 is mentioned as a 蝉补谤惫补尘补苍墨峁�i艣颈峁�y补, which indicates that he was the disciple of different scholars. 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 himself states that in order to learn something one should have willingness to be a student of any individual.^[2] He studied many subjects with his honourable teachers. 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 mentions that he studied 蝉腻丑颈迟测补 from the great 腻肠腻谤测补 Abhinavagupta, the author of the 痴颈诲测腻惫颈惫峁泃颈.^[3] Ahbinavagupta was a renowned philosopher who was revered for his profound exposition of the Kashmirian Philosophy of 艢补颈惫颈蝉尘, and a great poet and critic of extraordinary acumen.^[4] Dr. Kane recognises the depth and intensity of 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补鈥檚 intimacy with his teacher, Abhinavagupta.^[5]

碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 also mentions the name of another Ga峁単aka as his 鲍辫腻诲丑测腻测补^[6]. In the 础耻肠颈迟测补惫颈肠腻谤补肠补谤肠腻, he quotes one verse from the work of Ga峁単akop膩dhy膩ya^[7]. But the name of his work is not known, nor does 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 mention the name of the book.

Besides these teachers, 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 in his 叠峁沨补迟办补迟丑腻尘补帽箩补谤墨^[8] indicates that he has also another teacher named Som腻肠腻谤测补. He shows his great reverence for 腻肠腻谤测补 Soma, who is a follower of 痴补颈峁ａ箛补惫颈蝉尘.

碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 also introduces one Devadhara in his 叠峁沨补迟办补迟丑腻尘补帽箩补谤墨^[9] Devadhara held an important position in the 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 community. He is stated as 蝉补谤惫补箩帽补. Most probably, 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 used the word 蝉补谤惫补箩帽补 to mean Devadhara鈥檚 vast knowledge. 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 says that Devadhara instructed him to compose the said work.^[10] Scholars like Prof. Levi names Devadhara as one of 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补鈥檚 friends.^[11] According to Dr. Suryakanta, he was probably 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补鈥檚 teacher.^[12] However, it is to be mentioned that which subject or subjects 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 learned from him and whether he was a teacher of 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 or not, are not mentioned clearly. But, it becomes clear that Devadhara occupied a special place in the life of 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补.

In the Introduction to the 叠补耻诲诲丑腻惫补诲腻苍补办补濒辫补濒补迟腻^[13] Somendra speaks about one V墨ryabhadra, whom he calls a 腻肠腻谤测补. V墨ryabhadra is mentioned to be an up-holder of Buddhist philosophy, with the help of whom 碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 was enriched by the knowledge of Buddhist philosophy.

碍峁�e尘别苍诲谤补 exhibits his great respect to all his teachers. He says that in order to earn scholarship, one must try his best and should always serve his teacher.^[14]
