The Invocation by Bä ngar Jampä l Zangpo is considered one of the most important teachings of the Kagyü tradition.

From this point of view again, Jampä l Zangpo's Invocation - as the text of a simple practitioner who in his time was not recognized as any particular incarnation - proves it's highest rank. Among the commentators, the names of the 8th Karmapa, Karma Chagmé or the 15th Karmapa speak for themselves. The fourth commentator Rinchen Dargyä (rin chen dar rgyas, known also as karma rat+na, karma mkhan po, 1835?d.u.) is perhaps less famous but still he was a very prominent lama of high esteem among his contemporaries, being not only the attendant of Jamgö n Kongtrü l Lodrö Thajé and a close student of Choggyur Lingpa but also claimed to be the incarnation of Santarak=ita who played such an important role in the Buddhist history of Tibet. The least known is the last commentator, Gä npo Tshepä l, who was also the attendant of Jamgö n Kongtrü l Lodrö Thajé (I was not able to find any information about his life or text written by him).
