Notes

Probably the master called sbas pa'i rnal 'byor in the biography of Khyungpo Neljor.
According to this biography, they met during the second trip of Khyungpo Neljor to India. Abhayākaragupta transmitted him: bde mchog lha lnga / mkha' spyod dkar dmar / rim lnga stan thog gcig ma / sbyor drug / and more during his second trip to India.

སྦས་པའི་རྣལ་འབྱོར་ལ་གསེར་སྲང་བརྒྱ་ཕུལ་ནས། བདེ་མཆོག་ལྷ་ལྔ་དང་། མཁའ་སྤྱོད་དཀར་དམར་དང་། རིམ་ལྔ་སྟན་ཐོག་གཅིག་མ་སྦྱོར་དྲུག་ལ་སོགས་པའི་གདམས་པ་མང་དུ་ཞུས་སོ།

"I offered one hundred srang of gold to the Hidden Yogin and requested many instructions, such as the Five Deities of Cakrasaṃvara, the White and Red Khecarī (previously transmitted by Niguma), the Five Stages (Guhyasamāja) in One Sitting, and the Six Unions (Six Branch Practice of Vajrayoga)."
