'''Lhachen Palgyigon''' ({{circa|930|960}}){{sfnp|Lo Bue & Bray, Art and Architecture in Ladakh|2014|p=5}} ({{bo|t=དཔལ་གྱི་མགོན|w=dpal gyi mgon}}) was the founding king of the Kingdom of [[Maryul]], based in modern [[Ladakh]].

Palgyigon was a son of [[Kyide Nyimagon]], a descendant of the Old Tibetan dynasty, who unified the Western Tibet ([[Ngari]]) during the Tibetan [[Era of Fragmentation]]. Palgyigon was the eldest of three brothers, the other two being [[Trashigon]] and [[Detsukgon]].

Palgyigon is said to have extended the kingdom of his father to the "Kashmir pass" ([[Zoji La]]) in the northwest, along what were referred to as the "lowlands of [[Ngari]]" (''mar-yul'' of ''mṅah‐ris''). He became an independent king after his father's death. The other two sons of Nyimagon, Trashigon and Detsukgon, also inherited the kingdoms of [[Guge]]‐[[Burang County|Purang]] and [[Zanskar]] respectively. The three kingdoms together were referred to as "Ngari Korsum" ({{bo|w=mNga' ris skor gsum}}, "the three divisions of Ngari").<ref>{{harvp|Fisher, Rose & Huttenback, Himalayan Battleground|1963|p=19}}: "Mnah-ris (Mnga-ris), although now restricted to West Tibet, then referred to the entire territory between the Zoji and Mayum passes."</ref>{{sfnp|Francke, Antiquities of Indian Tibet|1992|p=94}}

The kingdom of Maryul lasted till 1842 when the [[Dogra]] general [[Zorawar Singh Kahluria|Zorawar Singh]], having conquered it, made it part of the princely state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)|Jammu and Kashmir]].
