<br>From the preface:  Zhabs drung I Ngag dbang rnam rgyal (1594-1651) was b. in house of Rwalung, son of Yab chen Mi pham bstan pa'i nyi ma (1567-1619) and the lady Bsod nams dpal gyi bu khrid, daughter of the Lord of Skyid shod.  He was recognized as reincarn. of Padma dkar po, but this was disputed, and many monks preferred to recognize the 'Phyongs rgyas prince Mi pham dbang po.  Troubles with certain Karma Dkar brgyud pa, and ultimately with their patron the King of Gtsang, led to his flight from Rwa lung to Bhutan in 1616.  By his death in 1651 he had established a firm basis of the Bhutanese state in spite of internal opposition & external invasions from Tibet.  The author of this biography was 'Jam dpal bshes gnyen, AKA 'Jam dbyangs dpal ldan rgya mtsho called Gtsang Mkhan chen (1610-1684) at behest of Sbyin pa rgyal mtshan.  He also authored a large biography of the Karma pa X Chos dbyings rdo rje (1604-1674).

<br>Miscellaneous notes: 
<br>
<br>See S.C. Sarkar, Tibetan Titbits (in JBORS, 1941), where he very badly translates the title and colophon of a woodblock print from Lhasa, which probably should have something like the following title:  'Phags yul grub pa'i dbang phyug dpal te lo nâ ro gnyis dang / dgyes mdzad mar pa lo ts‚ rje btsun bzhad pa rdo rje bcas kyi rnam thar mdor bsdus dang / mkhas grub dwags po lha rje'i rnam thar snyan pa'i ba dan 'jam gling mtha' gru khyab pa'i rgyan bcas (note that the usual biography of Sgam po pa has a similar title to the last).
<br>
<br>Seen in E.Gene Smith's library:  Title: Grub thob Gling ras kyi rnam gur mthong ba don ldan.  Marginal letter: KA.  Colophon title: Grub thob gling ras pa'i rnam thar cung zad bsdus pa la mgur rgya che ba mthong zhing thos pas dran pa'i mchog ces bya ba rdzogs s.ho //  //.  End of printing colophon: Gnas chen brag dkar rta so'i dben gnas su // grub thob gling ras rnam mgur ngo mtshar 'di // lha btsun rin nam dang bas spar du bzhengs // shin tu dmar ba'i gnang sbyin mdzad pa ni // mi dbang gong ma chen po bdud 'du ldes [bdud 'dul sde?] // zho zangs cis dang // bdun tshar cha gnyis gnang /.
