Notes 

mDo brtsan was the name of several people, see :

- [Rlang] lHa bzher mdo brtsan

- dGro Ring stag mdo brtsan

- blon Khri sum bzhengs mdo' brtsan (inscr. lDan ma brag II l. 10)

The latter probably corresponds to the dBa's blon Khri sum bzher mdo btsan mentioned by dPa' bo gtsug lag 'phreng ba, who seems to be distinguished from another dBa' blon mDo btsan, both under the reign of Khri lDe srong btsan Sad na legs (see dPa' bo gtsug lag 'phreng ba 2003 ed. vol. 1 p. 411-413)
