# That is to say, he was born in the [[Milky Lake]] in the south-western direction and became the adopted son of the king of [[Uddiyana]]. After renouncing the kingdom, he practiced in the [[eight charnel grounds]] headed by [[Cool Grove]] ([[Sitavana]]) and at that time manifested the [[vidyadhara level of Full Maturation]]. 
 
# Although he was burned alive by the king of [[Sahor]], he was unharmed and, transforming the mass of fire into a lake, he established the kingdom in the Dharma. Doing life-sadhana in [[Maratika Cave]] with [[Mandarava]], his consort for the path of longevity, he received the empowerment of immortality from [[Amitayus]] and at that time manifested the [[vidyadhara level of Life Mastery]]. The levels of [[Full Maturation]] and [[Life Mastery]] both belong to the [[path of seeing]].
 
# When practicing the [[Vishuddha Essence of Great Bliss]] together with the Nepalese [[Shakya Devi]] at [[Yangleshö]] in Nepal, he manifested the [[vidyadhara level of Mahamudra]] which belongs to the [[path of cultivation]]. When invited by the Tibetan king, he resided in the manner of a [[mahamudra vidyadhara]] on the path of cultivation.
 
# Finally, when he departed for the land of [[rakshasas]] and resided as the chief of the gathering of vidyadharas, dakas and dakinis in the [[Palace of Lotus Light]], he manifested as abiding on the level of the [[Regent of Vajradhara]], the [[vidyadhara level of Spontaneous Presence]] of the [[path of consummation]] where his realization equals the [[Lords of the Three Families]]. This is the oral tradition according to the teachings of [[Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo]].
