'''Tantra Section''' ([[rgyud sde]]). One of the [[two divisions of Mahayoga]]. The [[Mahayoga tantras]] appeared in this world when revealed by [[Vajrasattva]] and the [[Lord of Secrets]] to [[King Jah]], the ruler of Zahor, who was born 112 years after Buddha's nirvana. Some of the contemporary lineage holders were [[Uparaja]], [[Kukuraja]], [[Vimalakirti]], and [[Jnanamitra]]. Subsequent masters were [[Shakputri]], the regent and son of King Jah, King Jah's daughter [[Gomadevi]], [[Singaraja]], [[Lilavajra]], [[Buddhaguhya]] and [[Vajrahasya]]. The following generation of lineage holders were [[Bhashita]], [[Prabhahasti]], and [[Padmasambhava]], the latter of whom also received the tantras directly from [[King Jah]].
