Language(s): Tibetan
Title:Ch. 9. I. 23 Pothī; 44.5 c. x 8.5 c.: foll. 10, one damaged; ll. 7: dbu-can.
A commentary on the Bhadracarī-praṇidhāna-rāja.

Fol. 10b, l. 6: ‘'It has been said by Bhagavat that all Dharmas are like a mirage....' ’
Fol. 10b, l. 2, on four Acintyas: the great strength of Dhyāna, of Karman, of the nāgas, of the Buddhas. Deals with the topics that are 'beyond human reason' and which must be admitted though faith:
‘/bsam gyis myi:khyab:pa'i:/gzhung las:/gsungs pa/ngo mtshar du gyurd /cang myed /myed de /mkhas:pa rnams:gyi:dbang po:las//gyang 'gyur na' //de la ngo mtshard du //ci yod ces:'byung ba dang /'jig rten gyi mgon pos:/gsungs/pa/bsam/gyis/myi khyab pa:/ni /rnam pa/bzhi ste:/bsam:gtan pa:dang /las dang klu dang /sangs rgyas:rnams gyi /mthu ched po'o:/de lta bas na'://sangs:rgyas rnams gyi://bka' yid myi slebs shing /nyams:gyi:don du ma grub na 'ang /de bzhin du dad par gyis:shig://sangs rgyas:gyi bka' de bzhin du gtan la bab pa:/mngon du ma khugs:pas:na /the://tsom:du gyurd te //'jig rten thams:cad kyang /stong pa:nyid lta bu'i:/rtags gyis yid ces:par bya':// ’
