NOTE.—There are many repetitions i n the whole volume. The translation of many of the
works is attributed to the celebrated translators i n the n inth century, as, JINA-MITRA, D A ' N A -
SHILA, SURENDRA BODHI, P R A J N A ' V A R M A , &C. and BANDE' Y E ' S I I / S - S D E ' ; but, I th ink they
had no part in the translation of several of them, judging from the contents of these works, and
of other large treatises translated elsewhere by them. A n d it is stated by Tibetan writers, that the
princes at that time permitted only a few Tantrika works to be translated.

Bodhisatnas, gods, demons, countries, cities, &e. &c. though they occur i n the text i n Tibetan only,
I have frequently expressed either in Sanscrit alone, or sometimes i n both Sanscrit and Tibetan, w i t h
the aid of the Sanscrit and Tibetan vocabulary i n m y hand. A s also, instead of _ B C H O M - I . D A N - H I > A S ,
