Hod-de left four sons, viz., Phab-de-se, Thi-de, Thi-chhun 56 and Nag-pa. 
The first and fourth became masters of Tsan-ron, the second son took 
possession of Amdo and Tsohkha, the third son Thi-chhun became king of 
U and removed the capital to Yar-lun. The fifth descendant of Thi- 
chhun, named Jovo Nal-Jor, patronized the Lamas Chyen-na rinpochhe 
and Pal Phagmo Du-pa. The seventh descendant S'akya-gon was a great 
patron of the celebrated Sakya Pandita. The ninth descendant, named 
Tag-pa rinpochhe, accompanied the illustrious Phagpa on his visit to the 
Emperor of China and obtained Imperial patents. He built the palace 
of Tag-khai-Phodan, and was well known for his veneration of the Bud¬

prince named Ye-phorga Bahdur, by his wife, the princess Hulan or Khulan. 
He was born according to Tibetan chronology in 1182 A. D. At the age of
