1.Title: bsil ba'i tshal chen po'i mdoTitle: [Mahāśītavana-sūtra]Incipit: 1r.1@/_/rgya gar skad du ma hA shI ta ba nI ka su tra//dharani
Part of aPañcarakṣācollection ofdhāraṇīsutras that is spread across a number of classmarks (see in orderIOL Tib J 399,IOL Tib J 397,535,IOL Tib J 398,IOL Tib J 388, andIOL Tib J 394). For a discussion of this collection as a whole, see entry toIOL Tib J 399. The present item is an incomplete copy of theMahāśītavana-sūtra, which would have been the second text in the collection. The opening folio is present, while the last folio ends at180: 153a.1. Thus the last two folios of the text (originally numberedkha-59 and 60) are missing. Two additional folios from this item can be found at535, and fragments of a further two folios appear in Item 3 of the present shelfmark (IOL Tib J 397/3). Thedhāraṇīis taught by the Buddha to the kings of the four directions. Its primary function is protection from mundane spirits, as might be expected from its title.

Scattered folios from a text that closely matches the canonical (compare179). Probably only one folio is missing from the beginning, so that the first present folio corresponds to179: 120a.3. From there, the following folios are present (using the scribe's Tibetan numbering system):kha62-67, 69-84, 86-88, 91-94, 98-99. The item ends at a point equivalent to179: 134b.8, after which two folios are missing, the second of which can be found atIOL Tib J 398. The manuscript then immediately continues withIOL Tib J 388/1. For a discussion of the content, see entry toIOL Tib J 388.

Two fragmentary folios from item 1 of the present manuscript. The first folio corresponds to the canonical at180: 142b.6-143a.1. Thus it fits into Item 1 between folios one and two, with a single folio (found at5351) separating it from folio two (which starts at180: 143a.8). The second folio of the present item corresponds to180: 148a.2-8and as such should be numberedkha-48, fitting into Item 1 between the ninth and tenth folios.
