Sakya Hierarchy , 57 1270—1340 A. D. 
The great IChublai, 58 first Mongol Emperor of China, invited to his 
court Sakya Pandita’s nephew Phagpa Lodoi Gyaltshan, who accordingly 
visited China in the 19th year of his age. On the first visit, the Emperor 
presented him with gold patents and seals, jewellery of gold and pearls, a 
crown studded with precious stones, an embroidered umbrella with a gold 
handle, a banner of cloth of gold, besides other presents in gold and silver

illustrious Phagpa now became well-known by the jiame of Do-gon 
Phagpa. After a residence of twelve years in China with the Emperor, he 
returned to Sakya. 
During his residence at Sakya, which extended over three years, he 
prepared fresh copies of the Kahgyur and Tangyur, all of which by his
