Khatsun Namkha Lekpa Gyaltsen (1305 - 1343), orthographic spelling ''mK'as btsun nam mk'a legs pa'i rgyal mts'an'', was a ruler of Sakya, which had a precedence position in Tibet under the Yuan dynasty. He reigned from 1325 to 1341, but was more prominent in religious than in worldly affairs, and his time saw the beginning of the decline of the Sakya hegemony in Tibet. ==A divided heritage== Khatsun Namkha Lekpa Gyaltsen was one of the thirteen sons of the previous abbot-ruler (''dansa chenpo'') of Sakya, Zangpo Pal. His mother was Macig Yon Dagmo.〔Shoju Inaba, 'The lineage of the Sa skya pa: A chapter of the Red Annals', ''Memoirs of the Research Department of the Toyo Bunko'' 22 1963, 110.〕 Shortly before the death of his father, his elder brother, the imperial preceptor Kunga Lotro Gyaltsen, made a division of his brothers into four branches who resided in four different palaces: Zhitog, Lhakhang, Rinchengang, and Ducho. Zangpo Pal died in 1323, and Khatsun, being the head of the Zhitog branch, was installed as upper ruler in 1325. The Yuan emperor Yesün Temür bestowed a seal and the title ''guanding guoshi''. Although he enjoyed considerable religious prestige, Khatsun's actual authority appears to have been quite limited. He is seldom mentioned in the chronicles. Yesün Temür tried to strengthen the position of Sakya by appointing his brother Sonam Zangpo as viceroy of the three ''cholka'' (regions) of Tibet: Kham, Amdo and Ü-Tsang. This, however, did not turn out to be particularly effective. 〔Luciano Petech, ''Central Tibet and the Mongols: The Yüan-Sa-skya period of Tibetan history''. Rome 1990, p. 82.〕 A series of administrators (''ponchen'') handled the affairs of Tibet, although with varying success. During the tenure of Khatsun they were: * Odzer Sengge (d. 1328/29) * Gyalwa Zangpo (1328/29-1333) * Wangchuk Pal (1333-1337) * Sonam Pal (1337-1344) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khatsun Namkha Lekpa Gyaltsen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
