Tibetan manuscript from Dunhuang
Language(s): Tibetan
Title: [rdo rje gcod pa' 'grel pa/]Title: (Vajracchedikā-vṛtti)Ch. 9. I. 49 and 48, Pothī; 42.8 c. x 8.5 c.: foll. 3, numbered 31, 32, 34, and 4, numbered 106-8, 134; ll. 6: dbu-can.
The first fragment deals with the Sattva-loka, beginning with the Yonis (aṇḍaja) and the Sthānas (arūpa-dhātu, &c.). (Strong analogy with the Sarvāstivādin Loka-prajñapti, Bstan-ḥgyur, Mdo, LXII. 1 and the third chapter of the Abhidharma-kośa.)
Begins: ‘yul 'dzin pa'i bye brag [ste [...] Inserted below the line. 'du shes gyi sgo nas so]//de la sgong las skyes pa ni byol song phal che ste /ngang mo da+ng rma bya da+ng ne tso da+ng khra las stsogs pa'o //mngal nas skyes pa ni' myi phal che ste /myi da+ng bal glang da+ng rta da+ng ...

Compare Abhidharma-kośa-vyākhyā, iii. ’Fol. 31b, l. 5: ‘skye ba thams chad gyi nang na gang mchog / smras pa rdzu ste skye ba mchog go//byang chub sems dpa' skye ba thams cad gyi mnga' brnyes na /chi'i phyir mngal nas 'byung //smras pa de ni don rnam pa bzhi gzigs the pa'i phyir de /gnyen du gtogs pa shag kya pa rigs ched po chos la dkod pa'i phyir ba da+ng /gdul ba'i rjesu bstan pa'i phyir ba da+ng //bskur ba yongsu spang ba'i phyir ba da+ng /.... ’
Fol. 32a, l. 5: ‘skye bai bai = ba'i bye brag bshad zin tho//gnas gyi bye brag smra bar bya'o//gzugs yod pa ni gzugs gyi khams da+ng 'dod pa'i khams te [ [...] Inserted below the line gzugs yod pa thaMs chado //gzugs myed pa ni gzugs myed pa'i khaMs....] ’
Note dang nearly always written da+ng.
The second fragment (foll. 106-108) begins with the fourth bam-po.
Begins: ‘/gnas bchu bdun po bsam ba rnam par dag pa'i:sa smra bar bya'o:/'di lta ste dper na rab 'byord skyes bu:zhig zhes pa:las stsogs pa'o://mngon bar chud pa ni:/sa dang po:nas sa bcu'i bar du'o:/de 'ang ye shes rab tu thob pa' dang /snyems pa' myed pas 'thob par 'gyur ro:/ji ltar ye shes rab tu thob pa' zhe na'//ye shes rnam gnyi ste:/rigs yongsu 'dzin pa'i ye shes dang:/mnyam ba nyid kyi ye shes so'//gang gis ye:shes de thob pa na de bzhin gshegs pa'i rigs su skyes pa yin no:/ ’
The 17th point, the Adhyāśaya-viśuddhi-bhūmi, is to be explained: ‘tad yathā Subhūte puruṣa ity ādi ’(Max Müller's edition, p. 32, l. 16 or 37, l. 15 ).
Fol. 108b, l. 4: ‘rab 'byor byang chub sems dpa' gang zhi+ng:gi rgyan bsgrub bo zhes de skad zer ba de yang de bzhin du bshad par bya'o zhes:pa la stsogs pa'o:/ ’
