Title: 'phags pa thabs kyi zhags pa zhes bya ba /_/pad ma 'phreng gi don bsdus pa'i 'grel pA /Incipit: f1r.1@/__/'phags pa thabs kyi zhags pa zhes bya ba /_/pad ma 'phreng gi don bsdus pa'i 'grel pA /Mahāyoga commentary
This is a commentary to theMahāyogatantra'phags pa thabs kyi zhags pa pad mo'i phreng(458). The only other version of this commentary is found in the Peking edition of thebstan 'gyur(4717). A number of references in the interlinear notes, found only in this manuscript version, indicate that the author of the commentary isPadmasambhava. One note83v.6reads "This was taught by Padmasambhava without any fabrications of his own" (pad ma sam ba b+has ranggzod [sic for /bzod ]byas pa ma yin bar ston ). Furthermore, a verse at the end of the next page84r.5-6praisesPad ma rgyal po, and the note under this line states that this verse of praise was written by the teacherShan ting rga ba(Śāntigarbha) after he examined this text and found it to be flawless. Seeandon these passages and the identity ofŚāntigarbha.
The text is close to the canonical version, but differs in the arrangement of certain chapters. Seefor a comparative study of the two versions. See also321for an enumeration of the chapter titles in the manuscript.
