While there is no complete scholarly consensus, the majority of modern scholarship seems to place Candragomin in either the 5th-6th centuries CE (the earlier estimate) or more commonly in the 7th century CE (approximately 600-650 CE- See Mark Tatz research), with the latter being the more widely accepted timeframe among contemporary scholars. +
Birth date is based on the claim that he turned 100 years old on the 10th day of the 5th month in 2013 (June 18 according to the western calendar), which corresponds to July 13 in 1913. However, the dates of his birth seem to be unclear as there were discrepancies concerning his age when he passed away. +

Jamgön Kongtrul passed away on the twenty-seventh day of the eleventh month of the earth-pig year of the fifteenth sexagenary cycle. Nesar Tashi Chöpel, who recorded the date, likely used the Tsurpu calendrical system, for which the Tibetan date would translate to December 29, 1899. The more commonly used Pukpa system had two eleventh months in the earth-pig year, leading scholars to give Kongtrul's death as falling either on December 29, 1899 (the first eleventh month), or January 28, 1900 (the second). +
