Biographical data

dBa's sTag po rje myes snang and dBa's Mang po rje pu tshab were dBa's Phangs to re dbyi tshab's nephews (tsha bo, ms. PT 1287 l. 195-196, 296-298), they were thus possibly sons of his younger brother dBa's shos to re khru gu. 

dBa's sTag po rje myes snang and dBa's Mang po rje pu tshab joined the oath of fealty sworn to Slon mtshan and Slon kol (ms. PT 1287 l. 173-174, 177-178).

Notes 

Tsha bo could be understood either as grandson (transl. Bacot Toussaint Thomas 1946 p. 147) or as nephew (transl. Bacot Toussaint Thomas 1946 p. 139). The latter seems more likely in the context of the first mention of dBa's Pu tshab and dBa's Myes snang (i.e. death of dBa's dByi tshab's brother and absence of his sons).
