The most famous and prominent was Dogshin Noyon Khutagt ("Terrible Noble Saint of the Gobi"). Danzanravjaa was the Fifth incarnation of the Gobi Noyon Khutagt, the title of a prominent line of tulkus of the Nyingmapa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism in Mongolia, and was found by the personal attendant of the 4th Noyon Hutagt in 1809.
