Description

It appears that the manuscript is part of a larger work and contains several Buddhist texts. The recto side of the first folio contains a colophon of the Pratisarāstuti of the Bhadrakalpāvadāna (f.126a), while the verso side contains text from the Amoghapāśahṛdaya Mahāyānasūtra (f.126b-146a). The Amoghapāśahṛdaya belongs to the Mahāyāna hṛdaya-sūtra class and is dedicated to the deity Amoghapāśa, a form of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara. It recounts stories of Amoghapāśa and explains how he rescued people during times of struggle and hardship.
