Bstan-ḥgyur, Mdo-ḥrel, LXI. 12 (fol. 192), p. 391 ; Tārānātha, p. 156. There are two commentaries, a Vṛtti by Śāntirakṣita , and a Pañjikā by Bodhibhadra , Bstan-ḥgyur, Mdo-ḥgrel, LXI. 13 and 14 (foll. 192-213, 213-51).
Mūla (red), with a Commentary and a Preface. Incomplete.
The Mūla begins, first fragment, p. 5a. The Preface, first fragment, p. 1, explains that ‘'this Treatise in twenty stanzas on the obligations or discipline of the Bodhisattva has been written by the Ācārya Candragomin to provide for other future beings an easy entrance [into this discipline]. It is not a self-made work (sva-racita). On the contrary, the Ācārya Asaṅga having put together in his Yogacaryā-bhūmi, from the immense mass of the Vinaya and the Sūtras of the Great Vehicle, the disciplinary Sūtras (Śikṣā-sūtra), Candragomin has made a summary.' ’The division of the work follows: (1) śīla-samādānopāya, (2) samādāna-guṇa, (3) śikṣā-sūtra, (4) āpatti-vastu, (5) āpatti-vyutthānopāya....
The Commentary begins, fol. 5a: ‘byang cub sems dpa' [zhes ]bya ba ni nyan thos dag las dgar ba'i phyir smos so/de la byang cub sems dpa' yang gnyis yod de/bsam ba yongs su dag pa ste/sa dang po yan cad la gnas pa dang bsam ba ma dag pa ste/mos pa'i sa spyod pa'i sa la gnas pa man cad do/.... ’
‘'He says "Bodhisattva", in order to distinguish from the Śrāvakas. There are again two sorts of Bodhisattvas: the Bodhisattva of pure resolution (śuddhā-dhyāśaya), above the first Bhūmi; the Bodhisattva of impure resolution, in the Adhimukti-bhūmi...' ’
(see article 'Bodhisattva', II. 739a-753b ).
