This is the smallest of the six incomplete copies of theSnang brgyadin the Stein collection. For a discussion of the content, see entry toIOL Tib J 463/1.The present item covers, on its recto and verso, two short sections separated by a number of missing pages. The recto (compareIOL Tib J 463/1, Vf.3v.1-4v.1) describes a number of benefits derived from reciting the text itself. This include: protection from fire and water, wild animals, assistance from the gods, and help for dying parents. This section is immediately preceded by the four additional folio sides found at454/2. The recto side of that Pelliot manuscript contains a copy of thePrajñāpāramitā-hṛdaya. The verso of the present manuscript provides the closing lines of theSnang brgyad gyi mdo.
