Life
Trinyen Songtsen was the son of Thothori Nyantsen[1]
The Tibetan Annals state that like his father, Trinyen made offerings with Secret Antidotes and that this is why the kingdom grew during his rule.[2]
It is also stated that Trinyen was buried at Donkhorda, the site of the royal tombs, to the right of his father Thothori's tomb.[3]
