During the time of Buddha Kshyapa Buddha Shakyamuni was born as the Brahmin Kye'u Lama (khye'u bla ma). At the time Buddha Kashyapa ordained Kye'u Lama, he prophesied that when the lifespan of humans living in this world would become one hundred years, Kye'u Lama would be reborn as the one called "Buddha shakyamuni."
After the passing of Kye'u Lama, he was born in Tushita as the Bodhisattva Devaputra Svetaketu (dam pa tok dkar po).
