Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

: Rigpa Shedra: Wiki

Murug refers to one of the sons of Trisong Detsen (c. 742-c.800)—one of the �Three Ancestral Religious Kings� (Tibetan: mes dbon rnam gsum) who were the most famous of Tibet’s ancient kings having made the greatest contribution to establishing the teachings of the Buddha in Tibet. There is some confusion in the various histories regarding the number and the names of Tri Songdetsen's sons. According to In Ancient Tibet (1986), it says that there were three sons: [e.g., the third son, who is called both Murug and Mutik]. The situation is made more complex because later Tibetan sources use several of these names interchangeably.�(also see: Brandon Dotson, “Emperor� Mu rug btsan and the ’Phang thang ma Catalogue, JIATS vol. 3, 2007).
