Manjushr穩 K穩rti (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廜??a?ika, and died soon afterwards, entering the Sambhoga-k獺ya of Buddhahood.
