He succeeded his father Phuntsog Namgyal in 1670 and moved the capital from Yuksom to Rabdentse near Geyzing. He had three wives from Bhutan, Tibet and a Limbu princess, Thungwamukma. After establishing Rabdentse as his new capital he built a palace and asked his Limbu Queen to name it. She named it "Song Khim" which in Limbu language means "New Palace". This later went on to become "Sukhim" and "Sikkim".[2] He was succeeded by his son Chakdor Namgyal, borne by his second wife in 1700.[3] He had one last son with his third wife. Though he is not well known his grandson becomes a king of a small kingdom inside his father's rule.[citation needed]
