Cambridge, Mdo, XVI, foll. 217b-221a.

At the requst of the Licchavi Vimalakīrti a large number of Bodhisattvas speak on Non-duality (advaya): Akṣayamati , Varamati (? Rab-kyi-blo-gros ), Ketugarbha (? Dpal-gyis-sñiṅ-po ), Sujyotis , Subāhu , Sunetra ( Mig-bzaṅs ), Nārāyaṇa (? Sred-med ), Samantagupta ( Kun-nas-sbas-pa ), Śrīgupta ( Dpal-sbas )... Many of them are responsible for ślokas ending: ‘gñis-su-myed-pa-la-ḥjug-paḥo ’.

Begins, fol. 6a: ‘@/de nas li tsa byi dri ma myed par grags pas/byang chub sems dpa' de dag la 'di skad ces smraso//skyes bu dam pa dag/byang chub sems dpa' rnams kyi gnyis su myed pa'i chos kyi sgor 'jug pa gang yin//spos = sbos. par gyis shig/
