Fragmentary at l.: ll. 8 recto and verso of ordinary dbu med script, rather smudged.
Medical; from the Amṛta-hṛdaya-aṅga-aṣṭa-guhya-upadeśa-tantra or from the supplement ('Lhan thabs') Akāla-mṛtyu-pāśa-khaḍga, of which fragments are contained in E.G.016.l (IOL Tib M 862), 016.r (IOL Tib M 165), 0249.
Begins - ...es phar byon //le'u rgyad (rgya) dang lnga 'chu drug la 'sla'ar (??) bya ste gang zhe na 'di lta ste// //gleng gzhi (Nidāna) gleng slong gzhi dang dngos 'khri (e ?)n dang //gso ba'i [tha]bs dang tshos kyi le'u/
The passage refers to a 'chapter 156' and also to a chapter on 'treatment' (gso ba'i thabs) and 'ripening' (tshos), as well as to nidāna (gleng gzhi), etc.
In the India Office xylograph (Lhasa Expedition, D. 1) of the Amṛta-hṛdaya the chapters 1, 2, 5, of vol. I deal with gleng gzhi, gleng slong and gso thabs respectively. But the like would perhaps be the case with the supplement, Akāla-mṛtyu ... (India Office xylograph, D. 5). In neither of these is there a chapter numbered '156'; but the former consists of Vol. I with 92 chapters, Vol. IV with 27 chapters, giving a total of 156 chapters.
