Title: khyim pa pho mo rnams khrims lnga dang brgyad dbog pa'i cho ga gzhung du bris pa'/

Ch. 9. I. 14, Pothī; 44.8 c. x 9 c.: foll. 10, numbered ka-tha; ll.5: dbu-can.

Instructions for lay devotees of either sex, concerning the rite of reception of the five and eight rules (śīla). Deals with:

1. The obstacles (antarāya-dharma) to the taking of the vows.

2. The advantages of taking the vows.

3. The postulant's request (verses).

4. The confession: &c.

Incomplete at the end.

The only work in Bstan-ḥgyur, Mdo-ḥgrel, dealing with the Upāsakas seems to be the Upāsaka-saṃva-rāṣṭaka (xc. 14, p. 415 ).

Begins: ‘//su yang rung ba zhig dus khrims lnga dang brgyad nod par 'dod pa 'am/yang na gtan khrims ji srid 'tsho'i bar du bsrung bar 'dod pa zhig 'ongs na sdom ba sbyin bar byed pa'i slobs dpon gyis thog ma kho nar sdom ba nod par 'dod pa de la bar chad gi chos rnams rmaste/ ’

‘'Whoever comes desiring to observe the five and the eight śīlas for some time or for life, the Ācārya, "giver of discipline" (saṃvara), explains first the obstacles to this man who desires to receive the vows.' ’Compare Abhidharma-kośa, chap. iv.
