"His Catholic Majesty" (due to the King of Spain) and previously "Defender of the Faith (King of England. Henry VIII); " Most Christian King" (Kings of France).

Such are "LOkgs'vara," "Is'vara," etc. usual attributes of the Dalai Lamas as the Reincarnations of " Padmap&ni-Aval&kita"; " Suraati " from " Sumatikriti "=" Tsong khapa" incarnate in every Bogda Gegen in Mongolia, therefore this title is often applied to the latter; "Ch'an-skya Lama " due to the Head Lamas of Peking as the Reincarnations of the illustrious Mongolian Lama and teacher "Ch'an-skya Rol- pahi Dorje."

These are, "P'agspa" "Highness" "Sublimity" "Reverend"= "bhadanta" Skt.; "rJe"=" Arya"; "t'ams-cad mkyen-pa " = "sarvaina"; "grub dban," etc., etc. These may be equal to those titles which History has bestowed in our countries upon men of great lustre and eminent capacities. So we speak of a " Beda Venerabilis," a "Divino Dante," of the "Ever-living poet Shakespeare," "the poet of liberty PetOfi," "the Grand Old Man Gladstone." "The Father of his Country (Washington)," etc., etc.
