The Khon lineage. The patriarchal lineage of the hierarchies of the Sakya tradition. It is said that a celestial being known by the name Yapang Kye (g.ya'-spang-skyes) tamed Kyareng Tragme (skya-rengs khrag-med), a demon, and accepted his wife Yadrag Silema (g.ya'-'brag si-le-ma) to his court as his bride who gave birth to a son. This being the result of combat between a demon and a celestial being the descendants of this lineage came to be known as Khon, the «combat lineage». The present lineage holder is His Holiness Sakya Trizin,. who is based at Rajpur, India.
