तृतीयस्य Snar-than संस्करणस्य स्वरूपं Dr. H. Kitagawa (Japan ) एवमावेदयति-
History of Snar-than edition: Around the 13th century a Tibetan Buddhist monk, Hjam-dgaḥ, who propagated Buddhism among Mongolians made a vow that the Tripitaka should be compiled in the Tibetan language. For this sake, he collected money and materials and offered them to Dharma-senge. 15 Dharma-senge compared the Vinaya texts that had already been translated into Tibetan with those in the Chinese Tripitaka, and published an edition of the Tibetan Vinayapitaka at La-stod. This is the beginning of the publication of the Tibetan Tripitaka.

Around 1312...1320 A.D. Hjam-dbyan published the Sutrapitaka and the Abhidharma-pitaka together with the Vinayapitaka mentioned above. This edition is called the Old Snarthan edition, which is not available now.

In 1731, during the reign of Dalai Lama VII another Tri25 pitaka was published on the basis of the Old Snar-than edition. However, this edition added many texts that were not contained in the older edition. Since this edition was published at Snar-than temple in the State of Gtsan, it is called the (New) Snar-than edition. This is the edition that is most widely 30 used both inside and outside Tibet.
