Lobzang Chokyi Gyaltsen (Blo bzang chos kyi rgyal mtshan) was the 16th abbot of Tashilhunpo monastery and one of the most powerful Gelug teachers of his time. Being the tutor of the 5th Dalai Lama Ngawang Lobzang Gyatso (Ngag dbang blo bzang rgya mtsho, 1617-1682), he received the newly created title Paṇchen from him. Later three predecessors were added to his reincarnation lineage which made him the fourth Paṇchen in that system. Clad in monastic robes and a yellow cloak, the first Paṇchen is depicted wearing a peculiar hat and seated on throne cushions. His right hand forms the arguing gesture (vitarkamudrā), while holding the stem of a lotus flower which supports an upright sword. His left hand holds a manuscript in his lap. In the upper corners appear standardized Dalai Lama figures of which the left holds a long-life vase in his lap which is an attribute of the Dalai Lama alive when the painting was created. The right one holds a lotus flower and a manuscript in his hands and can be viewed as a representative of all other Dalai Lamas. In the lower corners two Indian teachers are shown wearing red paṇḍita caps. The left one may be Śāntarakṣita, while the right one, forming the dharma teaching gesture, is Atiśa.
