There is some confusion in the various histories regarding the number and the names of Tri Songdetsen's sons.

According to Erik Haarh<ref>And historic sources such as The Red Annals and The Banquet for the Wise.</ref>, he had four sons:

• Mutri Tsenpo (མུ་ཁྲི་བཙན་པོ་, mu khri btsan po),
• Mune Tsenpo (མུ་ནེ་བཙན་པོ་, mu ne btsan po),
• Murub Tsenpo | Muruk Tsenpo (མུ་རུག་བཙན་པོ, mu rug btsan po) and
• Mutik Tsenpo (མུ་ཏིག་བཙན་པོ, mu tig btsan po) who became known as Tridé Songtsen (ཁྲི་ལྡེ་སྲོང་བཙན་, khri lde srong btsan) or Senalek (སད་ན་ལེགས, sad na legs).

The situation is made more complex because later Tibetan sources use several of these names interchangeably. <ref>See Brandon Dotson, “Emperor” Mu rug btsan and the ’Phang thang ma Catalogue, JIATS vol. 3, 2007, for a summary of Haarh's research.</ref>

In Ancient Tibet <ref>Ancient Tibet, Dharma Publishing, 1986, page 283</ref>, it says that there were three sons:

• Mune Tsenpo,
• Desong (ལྡེ་སྲོང་, lde srong) aka Senalek, and
• the third son, who is called both Murug and Mutik.

According to Dudjom Rinpoche's History of the Dharma (བདུད་འཇོམས་ཆོས་འཇུང་, Wyl. bdud 'joms chos 'jung), King Tri Songdetsen had three sons:

• the eldest was named Mune Tsepo,
• the middle one Murup Tsepo, and
• the youngest Mutik Tsepo, or Senalek Jingyön.

• Princess Pema Sel first died at the age of eight, but was brought back to life by Guru Rinpoche, and entrusted with the complete Khandro Nyingtik cycle by Guru Rinpoche. She was later reborn as the tertön Pema Lédrel Tsal, who revealed this terma cycle of teachings.
