Kunga Drolchog [1507-1566], was a predecessor in the incarnation lineage of Jonang [[Taranatha]]. He was an outstanding master of many lineages, a true exemplar of the [[Rime]] or non-sectarian ideal. He is the author of the famous "Hundred Instructions of the Jonangpa", which were included by [[Jamgon Kongtrul]] in his famous [[Dam Ngakdzo]].
 
Since Taranatha was born only on 1575, one might wonder why it took so long for Kunga Drolchog to be reborn. It is taught that he was born as the short lived Indian prince Rama-gopala, especially to re-familiarize himself with Sanskrit and other Indian languages, because he foresaw the coming of [[Buddhagupta-natha]] to Tibet, who was to become an important teacher to Taranatha.
