Title: chos kyi rnam grangs mdor bstan pa/Title: (Dharma-paryāyoddeśa)Ch. 9. I, frag. 25, Pothī; 28.5 c. x 7.7 c.: foll. 4, numbered (letters) 1-4; ll. 6 (fol. 1a) and 10; dbu-can (fol. 1a. ll. 1-5) and dbu-med.

Fol. 1b, l. 2: ‘From the absolute point of view everything has the same savour (rasa). The Buddha-jewel is the Dharma-kāya; the essence of the Sad-dharma is Truth exempt from action (? de-ñid-bya-ba-myed-pa-ni/dam-paḥi-chos-kyi-ṅo-bo-ñid); the Saṃgha is the a-samskṛta. In the Akaniṣṭha-heaven the Buddha-jewel is the Saṃbhoga-kāya, Vairocana ; the Sad-dharma is the threefold mystery, no thought, no movement, no voice (myi-rtog, myi-g-yo, myi-gsuṅ); the Saṃgha is the Bodhisattvas. In Jambu-dvīpa the Buddha-jewel is the Nirmita-kāya, Śākyamuni ; the Sad-dharma is the 37 Bodhi-pakṣika-dharmas; the Saṃgha is the Ārya-Arhats. ’
