Lūyipa (लूयिप) is the name of a Siddha mentioned in Tāranātha’s work called “The Seven Instruction Lineages”.—Lūyipa stayed in the Western regions as scribe to the King of Oḍḍiyāna who went under the name of Kun.du.dge.ba. Once he met Saraha the younger, or Śavaripā and the latter sang Dohā songs and gave hime abhiṣekha and upadeśas. He pondered on that, and even though he was still the King’s scribe he once went to a charnel ground. On arriving there he placed himself among the rows of assembled Ḍākiṇīs. He distributed the sundered flesh of one who had been reborn seven times [i.e., saptāvarta], and he was initiated into the creative maṇḍala of Vajravārāhi who advised him, “Although you may have rejected the pose of outstretched legs and the emissaries of saṃsāra, you must repeatedly exhort Vajrasattva the might King”. He knew that unwavering meditation was necessary and that if he had committed Karmic actions previously, he would have bear the disruptions arising from them. Furthermore he knew that strenuous practice was necessary if he were to gain its fruits.
