並宣講密續。那年,著名的王子種姓持有者白蓮花登上王位,開始講經說法。第二位種姓持有者是白蓮,第三位是賢善,第四位是勝幢,第五位是善友,第六位是紅手或寶手,第七位是遍入隱藏,第八位是太陽稱,第九位是非常賢善,這八位依次每百年講經說法,八百年圓滿。第十位種姓持有者海勝幢登上王位的那年,在希提河(Sita River)南方的馬卡地方,外道(Mleccha)的宗教開始傳入,外道的第七位導師蜜蜂智慧(Sbrang rtsi'i blo gros)開始編纂簡略的曆算。第十位種姓持有者海勝幢登上王位後,講經說法一百八十二年。之後,第十一位種姓持有者勝堅登上王位,開始使用曆算。他在王位上坐了兩百二十一年,講經說法。之後,第十二位種姓持有者太陽登上王位的那一年,被稱為第一繞迥(rab byung)的開始,那一年是火兔年。因此,在那之前的外道傳入的年份是火空海(數字表示),從那之後計算繞迥,給出過去的年份,所以直到現在年份都沒有錯誤。太陽種姓持有者之後是第十三位雜色身,第十四位月光,第十五位無邊,第十六位護地,第十七位護吉祥,第十八位獅子,第十九位遍勝,第二十位大力,第二十一位無礙,第二十二位人獅子,第二十三位大自在,第二十四位無邊勝,第二十五位猛烈輪王。這二十五位種姓持有者依次是前者的兒子成為後者,他們之中除了猛烈輪王之外,其他人都每百年講經說法。猛烈輪王在王位上坐了九十七年,講經說法。到此為止,前弘期的法教標準已經圓滿。從那之後,種姓持有者猛烈輪王所復興的後弘期法教的程度被認為是一千八百年。如此說來,法王月賢是密續的請求者。

and taught the tantras. In that year, the famous prince, the lineage holder Pema Karpo, ascended the throne and began to teach the Dharma. The second lineage holder was Pema Kar, the third was Zangpo, the fourth was Namgyal, the fifth was Shenyen Zangpo, the sixth was Chakmar or Rinchen Chak, the seventh was Khyabjug Bebpa, the eighth was Nyima Drakpa, and the ninth was Shintu Zangpo. These eight taught the Dharma for one hundred years each in succession, completing eight hundred years. In the year that the tenth lineage holder, Gyatso Namgyal, ascended the throne, the religion of the Mlecchas entered the land of Makha in the south of the Shiti River (Sita River), and the seventh teacher of the Mlecchas, Drangtsi Lodro, began to compile a concise calculation. The tenth lineage holder, Gyatso Namgyal, taught the Dharma for one hundred and eighty-two years after ascending the throne. After that, the eleventh lineage holder, Gyal Ka, ascended the throne and began to use the calculation. He sat on the throne for two hundred and twenty-one years, teaching the Dharma. After that, the year that the twelfth lineage holder, Nyima, ascended the throne was called the beginning of the first Rabjung, which was the Fire Rabbit year. Therefore, the number of years that the Mlecchas entered before that was Fire-Sky-Ocean (numerical representation), and after that, the Rabjung was counted and the past years were given, so there is no reason for errors in the years until now. After the Nyima lineage holder, there was the thirteenth, Natshok Zug; the fourteenth, Dawa'i O; the fifteenth, Taye; the sixteenth, Sakyong; the seventeenth, Pal Kyong; the eighteenth, Senge; the nineteenth, Nampar Non; the twentieth, Tobpo Che; the twenty-first, Ma Gagpa; the twenty-second, Mi'i Senge; the twenty-third, Wangchuk Chenpo; the twenty-fourth, Taye Namgya; and the twenty-fifth, Drakpo Khorlo Chen. These twenty-five lineage holders were successively the sons of the former becoming the latter, and among them, except for Drakpo Khorlo Chen, the others taught the Dharma for one hundred years each. Drakpo sat on the throne for ninety-seven years and taught the Dharma. Up to that point, the standard of the early propagation of the teachings was complete. From then on, the extent of the later propagation of the teachings revived by the lineage holder Drakpo Khorlo Chen was considered to be one thousand eight hundred years. Thus, Dharma King Dawa Zangpo is the requester of the tantras.
