However, the name changes in other texts, see dBa' rMa gzigs, father of dBa Rad na (Dba' bzhed 2010 ed., p. 34 "... dang dba' rma gzigs kyi bu (mkhan po bo dhi sa tva las) rab tu byung ba'i ming ni rad nar btags so" transl. in Wangdu, Diemberger, Sørensen 2000 p. 72), sBa rMa gzigs, father of Ra.tna ("...sba rma gzigs [khri bzher yang zer] kyi bu ra.tnar / sba khri bzher gyi bu sang shi ta yang zer ba de..." in sBa bzhed 2010 ed., p. 127 ), or even rBa lHa lod ("...de nas lug lo'i dpyid zla ra'i yar ngo la dba' rad na (rba lha lod kyi bu dpa'i khri bzangs rab tu phyung ngo) /" rBa bzhed 2010 ed. p. 289-290). The later seems a bit unlikely since dBa' Mang rje lha lod was blon che under Khri gTsug lde btsan (r. 815-838), while his son would have been a monk under Khri Srong lde brtsan (r. 756-797).
