Khyungpo Naljor hailed from the same family-clan, the clan of Khyungpo, as Jetsun Milarepa.

-The [[Taglung Kagyu]] lineage (stag lung) was established by [[Taklung Thangpa Tashi Pal]] (stag lung thang pa bkra shis dpal, 1142-1210). A great and famous master of this lineage was [[Sangye Ön]] (sangs rgyas dbon, 1251-1296). He was the founder of the great monastery of [[Riwoche]] (stag lung ma thang ri bo che). The Riwoche branch of the Taglung Kagyu almost became an independent lineage.
