One of the gter ston sum tshogs +
Discussed by Kongtrul in relation to his rediscovery of the treasure initially revealed by the gter ston gsum tshogs +
The currently available dates of his birth come 4 years after the death of his father, so there is likely an issue with either the dating of his birth or his father's passing. +
The currently available dates of his death make his parentage of 'gyur med 'phrin las rnam rgyal impossible, so there is likely an issue with either the dating of his passing or the birth of his son. +
Kongtrul claims that he lived during the 6th Rabjung, but this contradicts the notion that he was the subsequent rebirth of Rigdzin Godem, who lived well into the 7th Rabjung. +

Kongtrul states that Vajramati was an Indian that revealed treasures in Nepal, while elsewhere he is referred to as the Nepali Terton (bal yul gter ston). +

It is unclear whether this figure refers to either brang ti rgyal gnyer mkhar phug [https://www.tbrc.org/#!rid=P5529 BDRC P5529] or brang ti rgyal ba bzang po [https://www.tbrc.org/#!rid=P5015 BDRC 95015], neither of which match up with Kongtrul's bio. The former, whom was a circa 7th century royal physician, is too early a figure to have been the revealer. While the latter, whom was one of the bod sman mkhas pa mi dgu mentioned by Kongtrul, seems to have been the son of the figure Kongtrul claims passed down the treasure. Though, as he states, he couldn't find an extensive history of this figure, so he might have been mistaken on certain details. However, elsewhere it is written that the latter is the rebirth of the former. See [https://www.tbrc.org/#!rid=W17722 BDRC W17722, pg 74] +

His works in the Rinchen Terdzod are pure visions, so he is recorded here as an author rather than a terton. +
Date is based on Kongtrul's statement that Sangs rgyas gling pa discovered a terma destined for byang chub gling pa, which lead to their meeting in person. +
The works of this figure included in the Rinchen Terdzod appear to be pure visions, thus he is recorded as an author rather than a terton. +
I have recorded Rigdzin Godem as a student, since he was entrusted with several of Zangpo Drakpa's treasures, including the famous gsol 'debs le'u bdun ma, which Godem decoded and spread widely. However, by some accounts these two may never have actually met as the treasure scrolls were merely given to him by intermediaries dispatched by Zangpo Drakpa. +

Dates based on Kongtrul's statement that he revealed the dpal rdo rje gtsug lag phrin las drag po cycle two hundred years after Trisong Deutsen concealed it. +
While BDRC puts him in the 15th Century, Kongtrul places him in the 5th rabjung, which would have him living during the late 13th to early 14th Century. +

There is another bsod nams bzang po on [https://www.tbrc.org/#!rid=P2460 BDRC] and [https://treasuryoflives.org/biographies/view/Sonam-Zangpo/4164 TOL] that has the exact same dates and many of the same teacher/student relationships. +
On BDRC most of the texts associated with this figure are connected with the more generic entry of ban de dpal sbyangs (http://purl.bdrc.io/resource/P8260) +
Since the cycle related to this figure was received in a pure vision, I've recorded him as an author rather than as a terton. +
The alternate names, date of birth, and BDRC link given for this figure come from the Bon tradition for whom he was also a terton. +
The dates given here taken from BDRC run counter to Kongtrul's assertion that he was born during the 1st rabjung, which would make the dates 1072-1150. However, these latter dates would make Drapa some twenty years the junior of his student Machik Labdron. +
Dates: Kongtrul records the birth year as a wood dog year, which would be 1634, while the more commonly given year of 1646 is a fire dog year. However, this latter date matches with Kongtrul's statement that he passed in a wood horse year in his 69th year, i.e. at the age of 68. +

There appears to be some discrepancies in the numbering of the rdor brag rig 'dzin line of incarnations. Here, I'm following the numbering maintained in the outline of the Rinchen Terdzod. Furthermore, it isn't clear whom this figure is, as this name is frequently associated with both skal bzang pad+ma dbang phyug or kun bzang 'gyur med lhun grub, the 5th and 7th rdor brag rig 'dzin according to Terdzod's numbering scheme. +
There seems to be some issues with the dates for this figure. The current Khyungtrul, enthroned first by Dilgo Khyentse and then later by Penor Rinpoche, lives in Washington D.C. and is the son of the late Lama Ralo. So either there was a long gap between tulkus or the previous incarnation, pictured on this page, lived sometime in the early three quarters of the 20th century. Otherwise, it is likely that there are two different figures being conflated here. See [https://www.rigpawiki.org/index.php?title=Sangyum_Kusho_Tseten_Yudron Note 2 on this page]. +

Dates are based on Kongtrul's reckoning in the Terton Gyatsa. +
Treasury of Lives links to a different person page on BDRC [https://www.tbrc.org/#!rid=P6861 P6861], but this seems to be a different person altogether. +
Kongtrul gives seemingly contradictory dates for this figure, stating in his bio that he lived during the early years of Guru Chowang (c. early 13th cent.) and at the same time as Yonten Gonpo (c. 12th cent.). However, later in the chronology provided at the end of the Terton Gyatsa, he states that he lived during the 2nd rabjung, which conforms with the latter assessment. +
L
BDRC only has this person by this name [https://www.tbrc.org/#!rid=P1590 P1590], whom lived much too late to be a student of Phywa pa chos kyi seng+ge. +
There are issues with the dating of this figures and the most common alternatives are 1452-1565 or 1512-1625. The earlier date conforms with Kongtrul's assertion that he lived in the 8th rabjung, but it also seems to make him older than mnga' ris paN chen pad+ma dbang rgyal, whom Kongtrul claims to have been Lekden's older brother. Furthermore, neither of the dates seem to work so well when compared to the dates of their father, ('jam dbyangs rin chen rgyal mtshan 1445-1558), whom would have been either 7 or 77 at the time of his birth. And though the latter is not entirely impossible, the recognition of his rebirth as ngag gi dbang po, the son of his disciple byang bdag bkra shis stobs rgyal, would be, since Jangdak would have passed away some two decades before Lekden, himself, passed away. +
