Notes

1 The author of this supplication was Jetsun Tāranātha up to his immediate predecessor. The author of the list of lineage masters succeeding Tāranātha is not listed. 2 Vajra Yoga is synonymous with the six subsidiary yogas of the Kalachakra completion phase practice. 3 The thirty-five Dharma Kings are the seven Kings of Shambhala, the twenty-five Kalkins of Shambhala plus Tsangpa (tshangs pa), Lhawang (lha dbang), and Od Sung ('od srung). There is also another system of numerating these thirty-five Dharma Kings which counts eight Kings, the twenty-five Kalkins plus Tsangpa and Lhawang. 4 Kālacakrapāda the Elder is also known as Jamyang Dorje. 5 Kālacakrapāda the Younger is also known as Śrībhadra. 6 Nālendrapa is also known as Bodhibhadra, 7 This is Dro Lotsawa Sherab Drakpa. 8 This is Yumo Mikyo Dorje. 9 This is Kunpang Tukje Tsondru. 10 This is Kunkhyen Dolpopa Sherab Gyaltsen. 11 This is Jetsun Tāranātha. 12 Lodro Namgyal was a disciple of Jetsun Tāranātha who traveled to Dzamthang Tsangwa Monastery from Central Tibet and spent twelve years at Dzamthang Tsangwa Monastery in Far Eastern Tibet. 13 From Ngawang Tenzin Namgyal on, these are supplications to the Vajra Masters of Dzamthang Tsangwa Monastery. The Vajra Yoga masters that preceded Ngawang Tenzin Namgyal in this lineage supplication are from Central Tibet. 14 The Vajra Masters from Dzamthang Tsangwa Monastery that followed are Ngawang Kunga Palden, Kunga Kultrik Wangshik, Kunga Tenpa Salshib, Ngawang Dorje Zangpo, Ngawang Konchok Dargyay, Ngawang Lodro Drakpa, Ngawang Yontan Zangpo, and Ngawang Jigme Dorje is the present Vajra Master.
