Chapter 2b - Siddha Kyungpo Naljor’s (khyun po rnal 'byor’s) disciples

[Full title: Siddha Kyungpo Naljor’s (khyun po rnal 'byor’s) disciples (Roerich 733)]

In all there have been 80,000 monks (his disciples). The chief disciples were: rme'u ston pa, gyorpo rgya mo che, rnul ston rin dbang, la stod dkon mchog mkhar, rmo gcog pa and zhang sgom chos seng. His statement that he had lived for 150 years, recalls that of dampa sans rgyas who, when asked on his coming to dingri by the Lord khri pa: How old are you? replied: My age is 99990! Such symbolical utterances^[1] made by saintly men^[2] should not be considered as lies. Later, many siddhas appeared among his spiritual descendants, and because of this, we should consider him as a true saint^[3] , as one would infer the presence of fire from the (presence) of smoke.
