Edition Notes

1995 printing of woodblocks carved in 1896[?], which were newly carved copies of blocks originally carved in 1675.

The colophon of the main text (page 504) gives variant titles and states that it was written down by Ye-shes-mtsho-rgyal, and discovered by Gter-ston O-rgyan-gling-pa in the Water-Dragon year (1352) in Crystal Cave (Yar-klungs Shel-gyi brag-rdzod [rdzong?]).

A second colophon begins with a prayer on page 506, and explains the publishing details of the 1675 edition: Desi Sangye Gyatso urged the carving of the woodblocks; the Fifth Dalai Lama financed the printing; a mantrika named Rdo-rje-thogs-med-rtsal [this is also secret initiatory name for Fifth Dalai Lama?] coordinated the project after locating various editions (primary was an edition known as the ʼPhyong-rgyas dpal riʼi par); and ʼJam-dbyangs-grags-pa [famous scribe to the Fifth Dalai Lama] served as yi-ge-pa [writer or copyist]. That [first] edition was completed in the Wood-Hare Year [1675]; see pages 506-512.

A third colophon, page 512 (line 4)-page 514 (line 5), offers publishing details for the current edition, which was [effectively a second edition] published in the 19th century: i.e. newly carved woodblocks based on [a print of?] the 1675 woodblocks which were "greatly respected but now worn such that some of the text was illegible [when printed]." The printing prayer (par byang smon tshig) on page 512, line 6 - p. 515, line 1, was written by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo ( ʼJam-dbyangs-mkhyen-brsteʼi-dbang-po, 1820-1892).

In Tibetan.
