406 ANALYSIS OF THE KON-TSE'GS. 



44. ^^^^^ ^dong-pos-hxgyan-pa . (The place) adorned with planted trees, 

 (the name of a treatise on moral subjects.) 



45. ^^^^^ 'Qmng-po-splyod-pahi-sitioidam. The prayer of the well-doer, or a 

 wish for doing good. 



Such are the contents of the six volumes, as specified in these 45 chapters. 

 There is another artificial division of the six volumes into 115 sections {ham- 

 2)0, in Tibetan) but they give no contents. These six volumes were trans- 

 lated, in the 9th century, by the Indian Pandit, Suiie'^ndra Bodhi, and the 

 Tibetan Lotsawa, Bairotsana Rakshita. 



IV. KON-TSE GS. 



The fourth great Division of the Kdh-gyur is called, '^^^^> " Tikon- 

 rachliog-hrtsegs-jxi" or by contraction, " 'Dleon-hrtsegs,'' (pronounced " Ko7i- 

 tsegs'"). In Sanscrit, " Ratria-Jnita,'' the Jewel-peak, or precious things 

 heaped up (or enumeration of several qualities and perfections of Buddha, 

 and his instructions). The subject, as in the former division, still consists of 

 morals and metaphysics, mixed with many legends and collections of the 

 tenets of the Biicldhistk doctrine. Some treatises are in the form of a 

 dialogue between Sha'kya and his disciples ; but besides Sha'kya, there are 

 introduced several other speakers. The style, as in the former division also, 

 is prose and verse. There are six volumes of this class, distinguished 

 by the first six letters of the Tibetan Alphabet, which, with the number 

 of the leaves in each of them, may be expressed or stated here, thus, — 

 1. (^16) 448; % 402; 3. (^i^) 477. 4^ cii9) 473. 5, (120) 473. (121) 439. 



There are several separate works, or small treatises, in this collection, 

 which are in general attributed to Sha^i^ya; and as is stated in the begin-
