Ngagwang Zangpo (1546-1615 [P874]). It is very likely that this set of paintings was commissioned or painted by Drokun Gawa'i Shenyen ('gro kun dga' ba'i bshes gnyen) a 17th/18th century Drugpa Kagyu Lama from Eastern Tibet [TBRC P5051]. Gawa'i Shenyen claimed to be the rebirth of Ngagwang Zangpo.
སྲིད་པའི་དངོས་པོ་ཐམས་ཅད་ལས། རྒ་ཁ་ཡང་ཀུན་ཏུ་ཕན་བདེའི་གཏེར། འགྲོ་ཀུན་དགའ་བའི་བཤེས་གཉེན་གྱིས། སྡུག་བསྔལ་སེལ་ཕྱིར་ཕྱག་ཀྱང་འཚལ།
"From the entire substance of samsara, Even at the time of decline, remaining as a treasure trove of happiness and benefit, The teacher who is liked by all beings, In order to illuminate the suffering, even he would bow."
