2 Although it comes from a work of fiction, Childs might have mentioned, for example, that in the Mi la ras paḥi rnam thar by Gtsaṅ smyon He ru ka Rus paḥi rgyan can (1452–1507), the mother of Mi la ras pa sends him a letter using a yogin as an intermediary ( de Jong, J. W., Mi la ras pa’i rnam thar: texte tibétain de la vie de Milarépa. ‘S-Gravenhage: Mouton. 1959, p. 44 Google Scholar). This episode shows that to Gtsaṅ smyon's audience the use of yogins as couriers for long distance communication was plausible.
