The Tibetan tradition details many stories of miraculous incidents that occurred in Chandragomin's life.
In one story told by Taranatha, it was said that Chandragomin defeated a Charvaka by proving the doctrine of rebirth to be true:[6] In order to prove the doctrine of rebirth, Candragomin fixed on the middle of his forehead a mark of vermillion which entered deep into the flesh, placed a pearl in his mouth and died instantly.
Immediately after his birth a mark of vermillion came to light on his forehead and a pearl appeared in his mouth.
The corpse in the vessel was examined, but the mark and the pearl had disappeared, which convinced the Lokāyata teacher that the doctrine of rebirth is true.The hagiographical and legendary tales however cannot be taken as historical fact.
[7] Chadragomin's other surviving Sanskrit writings include:[7] Candragomin was also a devotee of Tara and composed several praises of the goddess.
