She did not exist

It is clear from modern historical research that Bhrikuti did not exist, she was made up in order to give Srong brtsan sgam po two wives. He is supposed to be an emination of Spyan ras gzigs, and the latter has two wives. Excellent evidence for this is that while the Chinese wife Wencheng is supposed to be an emination of Tara, Bhrikuti is an emenation of the goddess Bhrikuti of the same name.

No old Tibetan or Nepalese documents mention her. Even if she were a historical person she would be an extremely minor one, so I would suggest eliminating this article all together.

Actually, there is evidence that she existed. See new talk topic for reference. AD64 (talk) 00:33, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

burnt much

And no I am not a deeply saddened hippocritical Tibetan asshole, who wants to rewrite history. Yeah why not eliminate an article about someone who is responsible for spreading Buddhism in Tibet, just because it doesn't help to promote bullshit propoganda

just to inform

Songstan Gampo is said to have five wives not two. one from china, one from nepal, one from shangshung kingdom(west tibet), one from minyak noble family(east tibet) and one from his own kingdom yarlung(central tibet). More importance is given to Bikruti and Wengchen as they are outsider and considered as prize trophy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.124.17.107 (talk) 17:45, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can we confirm this?

Your evidence sounds convincing, however, can you provide and cite a source for the information? I'll leave it up for now, but if you can't provide a source, it may be deleted by someone else. However, if you are correct, we needn't delete the article altogether, but simply mention that this person was a legend and existed in canon for the reasons you mention. Also, please remember to sign your comments when you finish commenting. Thank you. BogdanM02 06:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is evidence of her existence in this scholarly book: “Princess Bhrikuti Devi” by Min Bahadur Shakya (Pilgrims Book House, Kathmandu 1997) AD64 (talk) 00:35, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the new detail in the article itself

Please see the new referenced detail in the article itself which makes it plain that, while unproven, there is no real reason to disbelieve the traditional accounts that Songtsän Gampo married the Nepalese princess. John Hill 07:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More historical research on Bhrikuti Devi

There is another book o the life of Bhrikuti Devi entitled “Princess Bhrikuti Devi” by Min Bahadur Shakya (Pilgrims Book House, Kathmandu, 1997). I have it on my list to update this article with material from this book before long. 00:33, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
