dkon mchog dbal

Language(s): Tibetan

Author:

Title: dkon mchog dbal

Title: [Ārya-mahāsaṃnipātaratnaketu-nāma-mahāyāna-dhāraṇī-sūtra]

Incipit: 1r.1@/_/nI /ngo mtshard to /bcom ldan 'das shInd du ngo(del: ng) mtshard to /

dharani

An incomplete copy of the sutra, with unnumbered folios. The beginning of the manuscript corresponds to the canonical version at806: 291a.6. The following folios are mostly sequential, but the final folios of the manuscript seem to be out of sequence. There are no chapter titles in the manuscript, though folio14r.1begins with the line:dkon mchog dpal bam po brgyad do, indicating that this is the beginning of the eighth volume of the text. As inIOL Tib J 158, 44v.5the eighth volume begins with the eleventh chapter, whereas in the canonical version it begins with the tenth chapter (806: 281b.1).

LikeIOL Tib J 158this version of the sutra differs from the canonical version mainly in matters of terminology. Therefore it may represent an earlier translation that was later revised. The colophon to the canonical version (816: 300b.3) does state that later amendations into the new terminology (skad gsar) were made to the original translation byŚilendrabodhiandYe shes sde.

Explicit: 15v.7/shes pa yang
