prayers

This concertina manuscript is incomplete at the beginning and end. Almost all of the original manuscript can be reconstructed when joined withIOL Tib J 426and7. Perhaps only the first folio, the cover, is missing. However, the matter is complicated by the fact that the present manuscript actually comprises two parts that have been mistakenly joined together at some point. Moreover,7is in three separate pieces, lettered A, B and C. The correct order of the complete manuscript (the recto side) should be as follows: [7Crecto]-[Rf.1r-3r]-[7Averso]-[Vf.1r-2r]-[IOL Tib J 426, verso]-[7Bverso]. The correct order of the texts on the manuscript, all complete save (i) and (viii), is as follows: (i)rgyud gsum pa, (ii)mchod pa’i sprin ces bya ba’i gzungs, (iii)rnam par snang mdzad ‘khor dang bcas pa la bstod pa, (iv)spyan ras gzigs yid bzhin 'khor lo la bstod pa, (v)spyan ras gzigs dbang phyug mtshan brgya rtsa brgyad, (vi)byams pa'i mtshan brgya rtsa brgyad, (vii)'jam dpal gyi mtshan brgya rtsa brgyad, (viii)don yod pa'i zhags pa'i zhes bya ba'i snying po, (ix)sgo drug pa zhes bya ba'i gzungs, (x)bzang po spyod pa'i smon lam gyi rgyal po, (xi) extracts from thergya cher rol pa'i mdo, (xii) [unnamed poem]

The first text here, thergyud gsum pa, begins on7Cand is the opening prayer of the manuscript. The prayer invites the mundane protectors of the teachings, beginning withBrahmaand continuing with many other non-Buddhist deities. The prayer often appears at the beginning of a collection of prayers, as is the case here. A detailed commentary on the prayer is found atIOL Tib J 711.
