The Fourth Drubgyud Tulku was born in 1739 to a father named Khyungpo Namgyel (khyung po rnam rgyal) and a mother named Serza Khyungtso (ser bza' khyung mtsho). His personal name is unrecorded. The Eighth Tai Situ, Chokyi Jungne (ta'i si tu 08 chos kyi 'byung gnas, d.1774) recognized him as the reincarnation of the Third Drubgyud Tulku, Jangchub Nyima (sgrub rgyud sprul sku 03 byang chub nyi ma, (1666–1747).
He ordained and trained under the Thirteenth Karmapa, Dudul Dorje (karma pa bdud 'dul rdo rje, 1733/4–1797/8) and the Seventh Tsurpu Gyaltsab, Konchok Wozer (mtshur phu rgyal tshab 07 dkon mchog 'od zer, 1699–1765).
He eventually assumed the throne at Tana Monastery (rta rna dgon), the seat of the Yelpa Kagyu tradition, and looked after about three-hundred monks. He passed away in 1828 at the age of eighty-nine.
