for some conjectures. Kulika is translated into Tibetan as
Rigs-Ldan. Tibetan texts speak of books coming from Sambhala, see
Laufer in _T'oung Pao_, 1913, p. 596.]
[Footnote 1023: See Laufer in _T'oung Pao_, 1907, p. 402. In Sumpa's
chronology, _J.A.S. Beng._ p. 46, the reign of a Kulika Emperor seems
to be simply a designation for a century.]
[Footnote 1024: See _J.A.S.B._ 82, p. 225. The king is also (but
apparently incorrectly) called Candra-Bhadra.]

the Vedanta sutras are rewritten and Ganesa made equivalent to
Brahma. See Madras, _Cat. of Sk. MSS_. 1910-1913, p. 1030.]

[Footnote 1032: Nepalese Buddhism knows not only the Dhyani Buddhas,
Saktis and Bodhisattvas including Vajrasattva and Vajradhara, but
also deities like Hayagriva, Yamantaka, Bhrikuti, Marici, Kurukulla.
In both Nepal and Tibet are found pictures called Thsogs-sin in
which the deities of the Pantheon (or at least the principal of them)
are grouped according to rank. See for an example containing 138
deities the frontispiece of Getty's _Gods of Northern Buddhism_.]
