Saroruhavajra (सरोरुहवज्र) (or Saroruha) is possibly identified with Padmavajra: the author of the Bohitā: an extensive commentary on the Ḍākārṇava-tantra: one of the last Tibetan Tantric scriptures belonging to the Buddhist Saṃvara tradition consisting of 51 chapters.—Note: There were multiple Tantric masters who were named Padmavajra, Saroruhavajra, and Saroruha. It seems unlikely that the author of the Bohitā, named Padmavajra, was identical to the famous Siddha Padmavajra or Padmavajra of the Hevajra scriptural tradition.
