Incipit ( 1r.1 ): @/:/nges pa bgam par bya ba'I phyir/
An incomplete copy of the sutra, with many non-sequential folios. Five of the missing folios, including the first folio, are found in the Pelliot collection ( PT_431 ). The Pelliot folios also contain the last extant folio ( 83 ), where the text ends ( PT_431: 83v.1 ) with several punctuation marks suggesting the end of the text, or at least one of the text sections. However, in the canonical version, this is not the end of the text or a section, merely the middle of chapter eight ( P_806: 274a.4 ).
The locations of the chapter and volume divisions in this manuscript have been given in LVP: 159 .
The version of the text contained in this manuscript corresponds closely with the canonical one. In this it differs from the other Dunhuang versions, perhaps with the exception of the single folio ITJ_160 .

Explicit ( 21v.9 ): /sangs rgyas bcom ldan 'das gang su dag
