In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: 84000: Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa (The Root Manual of the Rites of Mañjuśrī)ṛtܻԲ (वृत्सुधा�) refers to an ancient king of Aṅga, according to chapter 53 of the Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa, a large scripture devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) classified as a -ٲԳٰ (containing practices of ritual purification).—Accordingly, “All the kings foretold for this eon Will have a short lifespan. On the banks of the Gaṅgā, In the valleys of the Himalayas, And also in the country of Kāmarūpa, There will be kings as listed below. They are the first, the middle, and the last. Those specified for the country of Aṅga Are as follows: the first one, ṛtܻԲ, Will be known as Karmarāja, And the last Aṅga king Will be Subhūtibhūti. In Kāmarūpa, there will be Sudaha and Bhavadatta, Who will be casteless. [...]�.
Note: The form ṛtܻԲ could be corrupt. Jayaswal takes this to be the name of a king, Vṛtasudhāna. The Tibetan translates as, “The first great leader / Will be known as Karṇarāja.� Here the Tibetan reflects the Sanskrit Karṇarāja instead of the extant Sanskrit Karmarāja.

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 (Բ) are collected indepently.
