Gegeen Khan
Gegeen Khan, born Shidibala, also known by his temple name as the Emperor Yingzong of Yuan, was an emperor of the Yuan dynasty of China. Apart from Emperor of China, he is regarded as the ninth Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, although it was only nominal due to the division of the empire. His personal name "Shidibala" was termed from Sanskrit Siddhipāla (सिद्धिपाल) meaning 'protector of the advanced state of supernatural perfection' and his regnal name "Gegeen Khan" means "enlightened/bright khan" in the Mongolian language.
