THE VISIT OF THE


the Lamas residing in Tashi-lhunpo with the official title of Pan ch'an Ê(o-ê)rh-tê-ni[1] (班禪額爾德呢).

Of his predecessors, the names of the three first are not exactly identified. The first is called 喇珠呢瑪綽爾濟勒布格爾) La-chu-ni-ma ch‘o-êrh-chi chia-lo.


  1. The official list of the "Tashi" Grand Lamas is entitled pan-sku-p'ren rim-pa Itar byon-ya-ni and gives no dates ...... It begins with the somewhat mythical disciple of Buddha, Su-bhuti.. including legendary Indian personages as re-incarnations, as well as the following six Tibetans, the fourth of which is usually held to be the first of the Tashi-lhunpo Grand Lamas. As, however, Tashi-lhunpo was only built in 1445, only the latter two of this list (supplementary list) could he contemporary with it, and as is noted in the text, their biographies show that they were ordinary monks who held no high post, if any at all, at Tashi-lhunpo. (Waddell: The Buddhism of Tibet or Lamaism.) I give here both lists, as published by Waddell, as I think they are good standards of comparison for my List from the 聖武記
