'Hihger' would be right if it meant 'later.' I think the other netter
got the time line mixed up. It is not "the spiritual leader must not
be a king was overridden here by the higher Vajrayana order." Rather,
the highest religous leader was also a king was the pre-existing

to Tibet's local condition. Viola, the Vajrayana branch, i.e. Tibetan
Buddhism with god-king a part of it was born.
