Mañjuśrīkīrti (मञ्जुश्रीकीर्ति) is said to have been born in 159 BCE and ruled over Shambhala and 100,000 cities.—Mañjuśrīkīrti is said to have been the eighth king of Shambhala and is considered to be the second incarnation in the lineage of the Panchen Lamas of Tibet. As his name indicates, is considered to have been an incarnation of Manjushri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom. Manjushrikirti was born in Shambhala, the son of King Deva-Indra and his queen, Kaushiki. His rule is said to have extended over “hundreds of petty kings and a hundred thousand cities”. He is said to have expelled 300,510 followers of heretical doctrine of the Mlechhas or “materialistic barbarians”, some of whom worshipped the sun, but after reconsidering, he brought them back and they asked for his teachings. Next he united all the castes, or religious factions, of Shambala into one Vajra or 'Diamond' Caste. Consequentially, he was the first king of Shambhala to be given the title Kalki (Tib. Rigden), meaning “Holder of the Castes” or “Wisdom Holder”.
