Title: tshigs su bcad pa gnyis pa'i phan yon dang bcas par bstan pa/

Title: (Anuśaṃsā-sahita-gāthā-dvaya-nirdeśa)

Ch. 9. I. 1b, Pothī; 52.5 c. x 6.8 c.: fol. 1, numbered 68; ll. 5: dbu-can.

Title in colophon. Translator Zu. Lo. Bhikṣu Dpal-brtsegs-rag-śi ta ( Śrīkūṭarakṣita ).

Bkaḥ-ḥgyur, Mdo, XI. 10 ; XIII. 9 ; Rgyud, XIII. 429 ; XV. 124, XXIII. 346 : Gāthā-dvaya-dhāraṇī (see Bstan-ḥgyur, Mdo-ḥgrel, XXXVII. 5), 368 . Translated by Feer, A.M.G.V., p.467).

I.The two Gāthās:

‘sangs dang ni chos la brnyas pa dang/
/le lo dang ni chung tsam chog par 'dzin 65, 'dzind /
/'dod chags dang ni nga rgyal spyod pa dang/
/'gyod pa dang ni ma nges byed 65, second hand, 'byed pa rnams/1
/sems can 63, sems-chan rnams gyi sgrib par 'gyur ba ste/
/de'i gnyen po theg pa' 65, pa mchog bstand 62, bstan pa'/
/deyis 65, de'is bar du gcod pa de dag gi/
/nyes pa thams cad rab du spong bar 'gyur/2 ’

II. Three stanzas on the advantages of the two Gāthās: contempt of the Buddha and of the Law, laziness, to be satisfied with mean things, love, egoistic conduct, discontent, uncertainty—vices that are an obstacle to beings—the excellent Vehicle has been taught as an antidote to them. All faults are abandoned...

‘/tshigs su bcad pa gnyis pa bzung ba la'/
/tshag gi don gyi sgo nas sbyor ba gang/
/sems can dam pa blo dang ldan ba des/
/phan yon rnam pa bcu rnams 'thob par 'gyur/1
