  • Verhagen in Mishra, ABS, pp. 330-333, following Khetsun Zangpo's biographical dictionary, therefore gives the author the mistaken dates of 1537-1601. It's interesting that, by its own account, this work is based on the Tshogs gsum gsal ba by Dpang Lo (Verhagen gives the dates 1276-1342) with the annotations by Dpang Lo's disciple Lo chen Byang chub rtse mo (Verhagen gives the dates 1303?-1380).
