As350notes, the full title of this work can be reconstructed on the basis ofIOL Tib J 360/5. The present item is the first folio from a text the second folio of which can be found at173/1, as confirmed by comparing the break to the complete version of the same work found at. Note that the text probably ends on the missing third folio, while the fourth folio (see173/2) begins a different text, a prayer toUṣṇīṣasitātapatratitledGtsug tor gzugs pa'i smon lam, that does not seem to appear in the canon nor in any other Dunhuang manuscripts. The present item includes several lines that do not appear inIOL Tib J 360/5, lines that were almost certainly added later as they do not obey the seven-syllable pattern of the other lines. Compare1v.4or173/11r.1withIOL Tib J 360/5, 46v.2, and173/11v.1-2withIOL Tib J 360/5, 47v.1. In terms of content, the praises focus on the inexpressible nature of buddha.
