Tibetan manuscript from Dunhuang

Language(s): Tibetan

Author:
Title: 'phags pa gser 'od dam pa mdo sde'i dbang po rgyal po zhes bya ba theg pa chen po'i mdo/
Title: (Ārya - Suvarṇa - prabhāsottama - sūtrendrarāja - nāma - mahāyāna - sūtra)

Ch. 9. I. 4, Pothī; 55. c. x 8.5 c.: foll. 79, numbered, verso, ka 1-79; ll. 5: dbu-can.

A blank space has been left for the Sanskrit title. Translators: Indian paṇḍits Jinamitra and Dānaśīla ; Źu. Lo. Ban. Ye-śes-sde ( Jñānasena ).

Bkaḥ-ḥgyur, Rgyud, XII. 208-385 (22 parivartas); XIII. 194-341 (29 parivartas), XIV. 1-91 (21 parivartas) . Sanskrit text, p. 241 (21 parivartas); Camb. Add. 875 ( p. 12 ) (20 parivartas).

The MS. contains 21 parivartas; it differs from the Nepalese MSS. in omitting their tenth chapter; from the Camb. MS. in adding the Bodhisattva-stava-parivarta (19) and a last chapter, the first part of which exists in the Calcutta MS.

: 'XXI. This chapter opens with an address by a Kula-devatā, but the concluding part is wanting.' This concluding part, as seen from our MSS., contained only a mention of the Gandharvas, &c. joining the deities in approbation of Buddha's speech. The title of this Chapter XXI is Parindanā-parivarta (Bsdus-paḥi-leḥu)
