BnwShortPersonBio	Puṇḍarīka (Tib. Pema Karpo) (176-76 BCE) is considered the 2nd of the 25 kings of Shambhala, or Kalkins. King Puṇḍarīka wrote a commentary called Vimalaprabhā (Skt.), or Stainless Light. This text, together with the Srī Kālacakra, is the source text of the Kālacakra system as it is now practiced. Other practice texts are commentaries on these two. The Dalai Lamas are said to be incarnations of Puṇḍarīka. (Source Accessed October 16, 2019)
