The seven Dharmarajas [e.g., ³Õ¾±Å›±¹²¹³¾Å«°ù³Ù¾±] and twenty-five Kulikas are the traditional rulers of Shambhala, passing on the reign from father to son.
³Õ¾±Å›±¹²¹³¾Å«°ù³Ù¾± is also known as Dharmaraja Chitrarupa, and in Tibetan as (1) Natshog Zug [sna tshogs gzugs] (2) Chogyal Natshogzug [chos rgyal sna tshogs gzugs] (3) Natshog Zugchen; and in Mongolian as: Khaan Sajivanchüg. His traditional reign is considered to be from 476 to 376 BC. ³Õ¾±Å›±¹²¹³¾Å«°ù³Ù¾± is further considered to be an emanation of Manaka.

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (±¹²¹Âá°ù²¹²âÄå²Ô²¹) are collected indepently.
