Five Sovereign Terma Revealers or Five Tertön Kings (tertön gyalpo nga [Tib.]) are the most important tertöns. They were emanations of King Trisong Detsen.

1) Nyang Rel Nyima Özer (1124-1192)
2) Guru Chökyi Wangchuk (1212-1270)
3) Dorje Lingpa (1346-1405)
4) Pema Lingpa (1445/50-1521)
5) Pema Ösel Do-ngak Lingpa (Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo) (1820-1892)

Sometimes the list also includes the great tertön Rigdzin Gödem (1337-1408).
