An incomplete version of the ritual manual found at3955, though it seems to be mixed with sections from the sutra upon which the manual is based (found at135). The first folio, numbered Tibetan folio three, roughly corresponds to3955: 350a.2-5, though already here significant differences are evident, and the last folios (42r.2-48v.4) roughly correspond to3955: 355a.4-357a.3. Between these first and last folios there are so many missing folios and differences between the two versions that a precise list of the correspondences requires further work. Significant passages are found in the present manuscript that are missing from the canonical version and may be sometimes found in the root sutra itself. See for example the passage in whichVajrapāṇiand the worldly gods are taught adhāraṇīand its benefits (30v.2-37r.2), all of which inserts neatly into the canonical version at3955: 354b.5. Much of the passage (31r.2-35v.4) can be found at135: 252a.2-253a.4. Note too that the folio numbers listed in433, which also govern the folio order in which the manuscript appears now, are not reliable. For example, his folio numbers 76 (36) and 78 (38) are misreadings. Matters are made still more confusing by the presence of at least one more item (see Item 2 below) in the same manuscript. An additional folio from this manuscript can be found atIOL Tib J 434.

Incomplete copy of a ritual manual for constructingstūpa/caitya. The first four folios correspond to the canonical version at3892: 162a.5-163a.2. After that, however, the folios appear disordered, with sections from thede bzhin gshegs pa bdunseries mixed in (see entry to Item 1). Schopen has discussed thedhāraṇīsutra upon which this manual is based, and has noted (see144) that theSarvaprajñāntapāramitasiddhicaitya-nāma-dhāraṇī(219) contains a ritual manual related to the samedhāraṇīspell, making a comparison between that work and the present manual a desideratum.
