Title: thar pa chen po'i 'gyod tshangs kyi le'u/Title: (Mahā-vimokṣa...)Ch. 51. I. 7, Pothī; 47 c. x 8 c.: foll. 9, numbered, ka 33-34, 38-39, 58-59, 61-63; ll. 5; dbu-can.
Colophon: ‘pang kong chen po ’
An extract from the Thar - pa - chen - po - phyogs - su - rgyas - pa - ḥgyod - tshaṅs - kyis - sdig - sbyaṅs - te - saṅs - rgyas - su - grub - par - bkod - pa ... theg - pa - chen - poḥi - mdo, Bkaḥ-ḥgyur, Mdo, XXI. 328-45 ; XXIII. 285-359 , translated from the Chinese. (Compare the Rtogs - pa - chen - po - yoṅs - su - rgyas - paḥi - mdo - las - phyag - ḥtshal - baḥi - cho - ga - daṅ - ḥgyod - tshaṅs - kyi - leḥu - ñi - tshe, XXIII. 359-93 and Schmidt, XXIII. 264-87, wanting in , and 208, the Paṅ-koṅ-chu-nu.)
Foll. 33-39 contain a series of namaskāras (or vaṇdanā), to the Buddhas Dīpa , Ratnarāja , Amitābha , Vipaśyin , Bahuratna , Śākyamuni . Fol. 58, the Bodhisattva Mtshan-la-mos-pa ( Nāmādhimukti ?, Nāmadheya° ?) and Bhagavat on the remission of sins. The text is therefore both phyag-tshal and ḥgyod-tshaṅs.
Begins: ‘@//thar pa chen po'i 'gyod tshangs kyi le'u//de 'i dus na 'khor mang po 'i 'dus pa'i nang nas/byang cub sems dpa' mtshan la mos pa zhes bya ba de 'khor 'dus pa'i nang nas langs te/tshul bzhin du gos tshags bcos nas//bcom ldan 'das kyi zhabs la spyi bos phyag 'tshal te//... ’

‘dkyil 'khor chen po la zhugs par bya'o zhes bka' stsal pa dang/de nas 'khor mang po'i nang nas byang chub sems dpa' mtshan nyid dad ces bya ba de 'khor... ’
Ends with the stotra of Dge-mthoṅ and his 3,000 men, fol. 63b, l. 3:
‘sangs rgyas nyag gcig gtso bo mchog ste/
