Ornament of the State of Samantabhadra. A commentary on the Kulayarāja Tantra composed by Khenpo Zhenphen Öser (mkhan po gzhan phan 'od zer) and Khenpo Thubten Pema Rabgye (thub bstan pad ma rab rgyas).

With 2400 Tibetan folios, the commentary explains all 84 chapters of the Kulayarāja Tantra (Tibetan: Kunjed Gyalpo).

Jim Valby states:

The 2400 page commentary on the Kunjed Gyalpo named Ornament of the State ofSamantabhadra: Commentary on The All-Creating King, Pure Perfect Presence, Great Perfection of All Phenomena was begun by the 19th century Khenpo Thubten Pema Rabgye with his student, Khenpo Zhenphen Oser, who completed the text after his teacher's death. These scholar-practitioners are knowledgeable about early dzogchen texts translated into Tibetan by Vairochana. They often quote Rongzompa (1012-1088) and Longchenpa.[1]
