of Ssan-yad Migyur-Lhun-gyi-dubpai-tsugla-klian or the shrine of the 
unchanging, self-grown working. The king together with twenty six of his 
saintly subjects, by sitting in three kinds of yoga, became possessed of wonder¬ 
ful learning and obtained saintly power, perfection, and, finally, emancipation.
