Rh Esztergom, (Gran), in Spain, the Archbishop of Toledo (formerly); Patriarchs (of Constantinople, Venice, Lissabon); Archimandrites (title given to some head-priests of the Greek-Oriental Church), and Cardinals (the "hinges" on which the Christian Church turns).

Moreover, their name's meaning is "teacher," "pandita," "maliapandita" and I think that from this point of view also my translation " mahavadi " for "mk'asgrnb" in the title of the first Pan-ch'an (even if he is ranged only among the " so-called " Pan-ch'an Lamas) is justified, as this title is given only to great scholars and religious teachers. " Ch'os-kyi rGyal-po" "King of the Religion," " Dharma Rhaja " is also one of these inasmuch as it is not considered to be the designation of the Bhotan hierarch only. Here, an appropriate com- parison may be that with the titles which are awarded to the Popes: "Servus Servorum," "Vice-Regent of the Most High" "Key of the whole Universe," " Successor of St. Peter," etc. and also with the permanent attributes, adjoined to the names of certain Sovereigns as the titles " Apostolic Majesty " ( due to the Emperor of Austria as King of Hungary) "Rex Fidelissimus " (due to the King of Portugal),
