N1  - "This book is a brief account of the activities of an exiled Indian king, known as King Sindha [i.e. Chakhar Gyalpo], a patron of Padmasambhava, who is said to have been founder of a short-lived kingdom in Bumthang. While the content and nature of this famous story suggest that it is purely legendary, they also give the impression of being rooted in historical fact, thus shedding light on the history of early Bumthang, and the visit of Padmasambhava, and consequent introduction of Tantric Buddhism which took root and spread from there to other areas"--Page 4 of cover; Includes facsimile on pages 147-181; Includes bibliographical references (p. 185-186)
N2  - Account of the life and exploits of Sindha, a legendary king of Bumthang and description of Indian Buddhist saint Padma Sambhava's travel to Bumthang
