I am reading “Tantric Practice in Nying-Ma.” by Khetsun Sangpo Rinpoche. In the book I found this:
“He originated this transmission, and five different types of beings – gods, dragons, demons, lichavis, and yakshas – passed on the transmission after receiving it from him.”
I needed to know more about this, so I asked a trusted source this question: Are dragons here nagas, and where do humans come in?
This was his answer:
There were five who met with Vajrapani on Mount Malaya.
- a god named Yasasvi Varapal.
- a naga known as King Taksaka.
- a rakshasa ogre, Matyaupayika, who wrote it all down in melted beryl on golden plates and hid it in the sky.
- a yaksha, or nature spirit, by the name of Ulamukha.
- and Vimalakirti, a human awareness holder of the Lichavi clan.
