An incomplete copy of the sutra, with unnumbered folios. The beginning of the manuscript corresponds to the canonical version at
P_806:
291a.6
. The following folios are mostly sequential, but the final folios of the manuscript seem to be out of sequence. There are no chapter titles in the manuscript, though folio
14r.1
begins with the line:
dkon mchog dpal bam po brgyad do, indicating that this is the beginning of the eighth volume of the text. As in
ITJ_158:
44v.5
the eighth volume begins with the eleventh chapter, whereas in the canonical version it begins with the tenth chapter (
P_806:
281b.1
).
Like
ITJ_158
this version of the sutra differs from the canonical version mainly in matters of terminology. Therefore it may represent an earlier translation that was later revised. The colophon to the canonical version (
P_816:
300b.3
) does state that later amendations into the new terminology (
skad gsar
) were made to the original translation by
Śilendrabodhi
and
Ye shes sde
