See 1227 and 1314 , Nidāna-śāstra, Mahāyāna-nidāna-śāstra by Ullaṅgha , whose name is transliterated Yü-kya or Yü-lan-kiê. This treatise has not been found in the Bstan-ḥgyur, nor has its commentary.

The same author, same translator.

The stanza fol. 37b, l. 2 = Nāgārjuna 's Pratītya-samutpāda-hṛdaya-kārikā, 2 (śloka). (See p. 122 .)
