Erinchin Lobsang Tayiji

Erinchin Lobsang Tayiji (Mongolian: Лувсан Ринчин Хунтайж) was a prince of the Khalkha federation in western Mongolia (See Altan Khan of Khalkha).

In 1662 he attacked, captured and put to death his eastern neighbor, the Zasaghtu Khan. This led the senior Tushiyetu Khan Chakhun Dorji to form a league and drive out the Altan Khan. In 1667 he was captured by Sengge, the Dzungar chief and was handed over to the (next) Zasaghtu Khan . With the help of the Dzungars and Peking (divide and conquer), he was able to reinstate himself, but in 1682 he was captured by the Zasaghtu Khan. In 1691 he, and his khanate, disappear from the records.
