XI.—DETACHED NOTICES OF THE DIFFERENT BUDDHIST 
SCHOOLS OF TIBET. 
All the Buddhist Tantras that were translated into Tibetan under the 
auspices of king Khrisron-ede Zdsan and his successors till the advent of 
Pandit Smriti into Tibet, were designated ^San-snago sna-Agyur of 
rNyin mahi-rgyu(7 or “ the anciently translated Tantras.” All the Tantras 
translated by Rinchhen-ssanpo and the generations of translators who 
followed him, were called ySan-snags phyi-Agyur or Sar mahi rgjud. 
For this reason it will be evident that the difference of rNin-ma and 
ySarma schools lies in the Tantras only, while the Sutras are the same in 
both. 
The Tantras of tlie ySarma school are clearly analysed in the ZYCali- 
7/gyur, and the original of the rNihma Tantras composed in Xryavarta were 
rendered into Tibetan purely and faithfully. They are the following:
