In the Indo-Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, there are thirty-two Kings of Shambhala, a mythical kingdom. The first notable king of Shambhala, King Suchandra (sometimes wrongly Sanskritized as "Chandrabhadra," Tib. ''Dawa Sangpo''), was the one who requested teaching from the Buddha. In response to his request, the Buddha gave the first Kalachakra root tantra. By practicing the Kalachakra the whole of Shambhala became an enlightened society, with Suchandra as the ruler. He was followed by an additional six Dharmarajas (Truth Kings). His eighth successor, Manjushri Yashas (sometimes wrongly Sanskritized as "Manjushrikirti"), was the first to be known as the ''Kalki'' King (Tib. ''Rigden'', wylie: ''rigs ldan''), to be followed by 24 more leading up to the present day. ==The Seven Dharmarajas (Tib. ''Chogyal'')== #Suchandra (Tib. ''Dawa Sangpo'') c. 900 to 876 BC. Note: the Kalachakra calculations put the life of Shakyamuni Buddha quite a bit earlier than is generally accepted, and the Tibetans produced a number of divergent calculations of the dates given here. Also, many of the names of the kings are often wrongly Sanskritized (back-translated from the Tibetan) in Western publications. #Devendra (Tib. ''Lhayi Wang'') (876-776 BC) - Fond of Sentient Beings #Tejasvin (Tib. ''Ziji Chän'') (776-676 BC) Bearer of the Dharma Wheel and the Auspicious Conch #Somadatta (Tib.
