Vajrasattva is typically regarded as the second patriarch in the Shingon Buddhist lineage, preceded by Vairocana Buddha. According to Kukai's writings in the Record of the Dharma Transmission, Nagarjuna encountered Vajrasatva in an iron tower in southern India, as testified by Amoghavajra. As recounted in the Mahavairocana Sutra, Vajrasatva inducted Nagarjuna into the abhiseka ceremony and entrusted him with the esoteric teachings he had gained from Vairocana Buddha. Kukai doesn't provide detailed information on Vajrasatva or his origins.
