R62: The 'Miscellaneous Series' of Tibetan Texts in the Bihar Research Society, Patna: A Handlist

Research Society's Library, Patna," Journal of the Bihar Research Society, vol. 33 (1947), p. 155. Previous descriptions of the Patna collection have been conveniently listed by Gunter Gronbold, "Verzeichnisse tibetischer Handschriften und Blockdrucke, eine bibliographische Ubersicht," Zentralasiatische Studien, vol. 18 (1985), p. 234, nos. 61 and 62. (3) S. C. Sarkar, "Catalogue of the Miscellaneous Tibetan Xylographic Works in the Bihar Research Society's Library, Patna," p. 155. Sakar apparently found Dge-'dun-chos-'phel's listings to be "inaccurate" because the latter probably used the traditional Tibetan shortened form of titles. Perhaps Sarkar was also not used to the transcription t for final gs, mirroring the typical Tibetan scribal convention of using a ta log in that position. (4) Ibid., pp. 155-158. (5) J. W. de Jong, Indo-Iranian Journal, vol. 11 (1968), p. 56. In this brief review, de Jong also supplied a tentative list of the main collected works (gsung 'bums) found in the collection.
