Manjushr?K韗ti (Tib. Rigdan Tagpa) is said to have been born in 159 BCE and ruled over Shambhala which had 300;510 followers of the Mlechha (Yavana or 'western') religion living in it; some of whom worshiped the sun.

He is said to have expelled all the heretics from his dominions but later; after hearing their petitions; allowed them to return. For their benefit; and the benefit of all living beings; he explained the Kalachakra teachings. In 59 BCE he abdicated his throne to his son; Pu?darika; and died soon afterwards; entering the Sambhoga-k醳a of Buddhahood.
