When the Dalai Lama, the Great Fifth, "
passed into bliss" during the contemplation of his tutelary deity
Kurukulla, his regent and prime minister, Desi Sangye Gyamtso, concealed his death for fourteen years in order to complete the construction of the Potala.
"Snow melt from Dakpa Shelri,
the "Pure Crystal Mountain",
Drops of dew from the supreme herb,
"Thunderbold of the Demonic Naga"
Enriched with ambrosial nectar;
let the Wisdom Dakini
pour the liquor.
If you drink with Pure Vision
The lower realms of existence
need never be tasted."
