Introduction
About this Manuscript
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 Mañjuśrī-jñānasattva-paramārtha-saṃgīti (f. 25a), while the verso side contains text from the Svalpākṣara-bhagavatī-prajñāpāramitā-śatanāma-dhāraṇī (f. 25b–31b). Striking similarities can be observed between this manuscript and manuscript no. EAP 790/15/004. Both manuscripts have thick red margins surrounding the text and exhibit the same handwriting. It is therefore possible that both belong to the same larger manuscript. The text describes how the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara uttered the names of Prajñāpāramitā and explains the benefits of chanting her name.
