Gonpo Paldzin. Panchen Chogle Namgyal.
There are two famous teachers with the title and name Panchen Chogle Namgyal. The more well known of the two is Bodong Panchen (1376-1451 [TBRC P2627]) a student of Tegchen Choje Kunga Tashi. The slightly lesser known but chronologically earlier is Jonang Panchen (1306-1386 [P152]) a student of Dolpopa Sonam Gyaltsen. These two figures can be easily confused if there are no clear inscriptions on sculpture or surrounding contextual figures on paintings.

༄༅།། ན་མོ་འགུ་རུ། །རྒྱུད་མཛིན་འགོན་པོ་དཔལ་མཛིན་གྱི། །ཐུགས་དགོངས་ཡོངས་སུ་རྫོགས་གྱུར་ནས། །འགྲོའ་མང་ཐར་པའི་ལམ་ལ་འགོད། །དཔལ་ལྡན་བླ་མའི་ཞབས་ལ་འདུད། །དཔན་ཆེན་ཕྱོགས་ལས་རྣམ་རྒྱལ་ལ་ན་མོ།།
