English: A gold seal presented by the Tibetan people to the 13th Dalai Lama in 1909, at a time when Tibet was seeking its independence; Cf. Morning Glory Publishers, Precious Deposits, Historical Relics of Tibet, China, 2000, vol. 4, cat. no. 38, and Dieter Schuh, Grundlagen Tibetischer Siegelkunde, 1981, p. 9f. Significantly, it bears an inscription in Sanskrit, Phagspa and Lantsa script, but not Chinese. (from An Important Gilt Iron Seal of the Dalai Lama). Wangchuk Deden Shakabpa translated the inscription as "As predicted by Buddha, from the Land of the Superiors, this is the seal of the Sovereign of the three worlds, the Authority of Buddhism throughout all time and throughout the world, the Unchanging Omniscient Dorje Chang Gyatso Lama, the Wish-Fulfilling King praised in general and particular by men and gods". (from One Hundred Thousand Moons: An Advanced Political History of Tibet, p. 707) or "Seal of the King of the powerful wish-granting (jewel), who is worshipped by all the gods and men, the Ocean-Lama Vajradhara, the unchangeable all-knowing one who exercises power over all the victorious teaching (of the Buddha), who is the protector of all above earth and of all times, lord of the three worlds and the teachings of the Buddha (which came from) the Glorious Land (i.e. India)." (from Tibet, a Political History, inside cover)
