1.Title: ye shes mkha' ldingIncipit: 1r.1@/_/bcom ldan 'das ngag gi dpal la phyag 'tshal lo /_/nyungs 'dru gtsug du gnas pa las /Mahāyoga sadhana
Written in same hand asIOL Tib J 331. A shortMahāyoga sādhanathat seems to take as its starting point the sexual practice of the perfection stage (rdzogs rim), as is suggested by comparing the passage seen atIOL Tib J 331/2, 4r.5-4v.4. From this state one generates a visualized wrathful deity, and from this deity arise countless light-rays, filling all of space. As they regather, they grant a "supreme empowerment" (1r.4 dbang mchog). The text ends with the exhortation to "always hold to the sky-soaring accomplishment" (1r.5 mkha' lding bsgrub pa rtag tu 'chang).
CompareIOL Tib J 401/6which is asādhanawith a similar title, but otherwise little apparent relationship to this text.
