A PART OF THE TIBETAN SACRED WORKS. 



93 



Twelfth and thirteenth (or ^ Na, and ^ Pa) volumes of the Dulvd. 

 The first has 458, the last 4:1 o leaves. There are in the two volumes 64 books. 



Title, Sans. Vindya Uttara grantha. Tib. Hdul-va-Gzhung-blama. 



Eng. " The chief text-book (or last work) of religious discipline." 



Subject, Nye-var-^tr'hor (Sans. UPAhi) the supposed compiler of the 

 Dulva collection, puts to Shakya several special cases, as to which class 

 of transgressions particular faults or sins should be referred ; or whether 

 it be lawful to do or use such and such a thing. And Shakya answers 

 him as to each. He addresses Shakya, by the term Btsun-pa. " Reverend !" 



NYE-VAR-/fK'H0R, in this last volume, is always mentioned by his 

 Indian name Upali, except in the eleven first books, which form a dis- 

 tinct work. At the end of this volume are the words Upalis-hun-dris-pa 

 rdsogs-so, — " all the queries of Upali are ended or finished." 



The names of the translators or pandits of these two volumes are 

 not mentioned. It is merely stated that they were translated in the time 

 of KLUHi-jjGYAL-ilirs'HAN, a Celebrated interpreter. 



Calcutta, 4:th September, 1831. 



I may here close my Analysis of the Dulva collection, from the tenor of 

 which may in some measure be judged what is to be found in the remaining 

 eighty-seven volumes of the Kahgyur. Of the whole of this voluminous 

 compilation I have, however, prepared a detailed Analysis with occasional 

 translations of such passages as excited curiosity, particularly the relation 

 of the Life and Death of Shakya. The whole are deposited in manuscript 

 among the archives of the Asiatic Society, and will at any time be available 

 to the scholar, who may also consult the first volume of the Society's Journal, 

 page 375, for a general view of their contents by the late Secretary, 

 Professor Wilson.
