The following three works had been listed in the lHan kar catalogue and from there they were included in the "search-list"51 of Bu ston's Chos bsgyur dkar chag; the next work, again attributed to a king, is only known from the 'Phan than catalogue as quoted by Bu ston.
6. dGons pa nes par 'grel pa'i tikā chen po (LALOU 530, NISHIOKA 659).
This was a very extensive commentary in 60 bam po. Nothing else is known.
7. dGons pa nes par 'grel (: 'brel) pa'i (: ba'i) bsdus 'grel (LALOU 533,
NISHIOKA 661).
A summarizing commentary in 1 bam po. Nothing else is known.
8. dGors pa nes par 'grel pa'i tikā (LALOU 566, NISHIOKA 671).
This commentary in 9 bam po was also translated from the Chinese, as was the work of Yüan-ts'ê.
9. dGons pa res par 'grel pa'i mdo'i bśad pa of Mu tig btsan (NISHIOKA
2925).
This is one of the titles quoted with others from the 'Phan than cata. logue.52 No note on the size is given, but the name of the author would fit in well with the previous attributions of commentaries from this tradition. For Mu tig btsan (po)53 is the son of Khri Sron lde btsan and the second ruler after him (ca. 799? - 815/16 A.D.), and it is quite possible that another one of these commentaries or summaries was commissioned by the royal house at the very height of the first great period of translating
51 For the work of the Chinese teacher rDzogs gsal (NISHIOKA 676) cf. above, p. 236.
The knowledge of this work in Bu ston must be based on some other source than
the lHan kar catalogue. 52 From there it has been added also to his survey by dPa' bo gtsug lag phren ba
(KhGT, Ja, 124b4). 53 Or Khri IDe sron btsan or Sad na legs.
