by the 5th Dalai Lama

Praise to Yaksha Kache Marpo, the doctrine’s watchman

Riding on a saddled precious horse
Having the power of the wind,
Traversing the universe in an instant,
Praise to Yaksha Kache Marpo, the doctrine’s watchman.

Furious mighty being biting the lower lip,
Three eyes blazing the sun and moon watching enemies,
Emanating messengers taking the life of false guides,
Praise to the liberator of the ten enemies.

Wearing leather armor, banners, colored garb and
Leather helmet with a victory banner, treasury of nine good signs,
Tying enemies with a lasso, piercing their hearts with a lance,
Praise to you and your retinue.

These praises are taken from a ritual to Kache Marpo written by the 5th Dalai Lama (5DL, Volume Da folios 147r-148r). According to the colophon Kache Marpo requested the 5th Dalai Lama to write this ritual. Kache Marpo is most commonly known as Dorje Shugden’s minister (ODT, 143).

Trode Khangsar is Dorje Shugden’s Ashokan Pillar; according to the White Conch Dictionary, it was established by the Fifth Dalai Lama himself. Management of Trode Khangsar was later entrusted to Riwo Choling Monastery, a Gelug monastery in Lhoka. On the same lot of Trode Khangsar was a small shrine called Monkyi Khangsar where Kache Marpo was invoked via oracle (WCD, 1312).
