92 ANALYSIS OF THE DULVA, 



Shanahi-gos-chan, appoints him his successor, and dies in the middle of 

 the Ganges ( on an imaginary island ) between Yangs-pa-chan and Ma- 

 gadha. His body is divided into two parts. The one is taken by the 

 Licliahyi race at Yangs-pa-chan, who erect a Chaitya to contain it : 

 the other part by the king of Magadha, who likewise builds a Chaitya, 

 at Skya-snar-bti (Sans. Pdtaliputra) over his share of relics. 



Leaf 687. Nyi-mahi-gung is received into the religious order by 

 Kun-jDgah-vo ; is ordained and instructed how to introduce the faith 

 into Cdshmir, as it had been foretold by Shakya, leaf 688. How he 

 civilized the Serpent race and their chief Huluta : — how he planted 

 and blessed the saffron there, and how he laid the foundation of the 

 Bauddha religion in the C&shnir country, one hundred years after the 

 death of Shakya, who had mentioned that country, as a suitable place for 

 dwelling and contemplation. 



Leaf 690. Shanahi-gos-chan intrusts the Bauddha doctrine to Nye'- 

 5BAS ; — he to Dhitika ; — he to Nag-po — and he to Legs-Mt'hong. 



One hundred and ten years after the death of Shakya the priests at 

 Yangs-pa-chan violate in many respects his precepts. — Many disputes 

 about trifles. — At last, seven hundred accomplished priests (Sans. Arhan, 

 Tib. Dgra-bchom-pa) mdike a new compilation of the Bauddha works, 

 to which was given, (something similar to our Septuagint,) the name of 

 ^dun-^vgyas-yang-dag-par-l^vjod-pa, " that has been very clearly expressed 

 by the seven hundred" (accomplished priests.) 



Thus ends the 1 1th volume, translated (in the 9th century) by Vidya- 

 KARA prabha, and Dharma Shri prabha, pandits from India, and by the 

 Tibetan ILo-tsdva (interpreter) Bande-Dpal-ITbygr. On the three last 

 leaves, from 706 to 708, are some remarks on the defects of these two 

 volumes (by a Lama, Nam-Mk'hah-grags in the monastery of Snar-thang not 

 far from Teshi-hhun-po ) such as obsolete terms, bad translation, incorrect 

 text, repetition of stories told before, &c. He advances several reasons, 

 why the sacred volumes have been left in this state by the ancient reviewers.
