Khatsun Namkha Lekpa Gyaltsen

Khatsun Namkha Lekpa Gyaltsen , orthographic spelling, mK'as btsun nam mk'a legs pa'i rgyal mts'an, who lived from (1305-1343) was a ruler of Sakya, which had a precedence position in Tibet under the Yuan dynasty. He also held the title of guoshi from 1325 to his dethronement in 1341. Since the State Perceptor (Guoshi) had a more localized role, while the Imperial Preceptor (Dishi) held greater authority, he was more prominent in regional religious affairs than centralized ones, and his reign saw the beginning of the decline of Sakya hegemony in Tibet, as they could not effectively put down revolts, leading for the rival Phagmodrupa dynasty to gain significant control of the plateue and in the future, eventually succeed the weakened Mongol administered Sakya dynasty.
