îo88 NOTES ON THE TIBETAN MANUSCRIPTS [Appendix R
3. M. Tagh. 0436. (Paper : i fol., containing a complete document, c. 27 x 6.5 cm. ; U. of normal epistolary Dbu-can writing.)
The text is a letter, as follows :
o I: 1 tsha I bo I Btshan 1 ra n dan I tsha I mo I Lha I Idem I stans I bsal • bya l I l La I Stag 1 brla I hi I mchid gsol I ba I phyog

To grandson Btshan-ra and grand-daughter Lha-ldem (states-bsal-bya ?) : letter of L(h)a Stag-brla. Desiring to know by letter concerning your health, whether you, on your side, are happy or not, in this missive I am writing only a short inquiry. For the future I pray that you, on your side, may be happy and in good health.'
Seeing that among the documents we have several letters addressed to ` grandsons ' (tsha-bo), it seems possible that the term is a politeness only.

The fragment gives directions for a certain charm, which has the effect of making water flow in a dried
torrent bed, leaves grow on parched wood, children be born to the childless, and so forth. Mainly in verse.

which form of divination see Professor A. H. Francke's article in the Berlin Academy Sitzungsberichte, Phil.-
I-list. Klasse, 1924, pp. 10-12.
E. G. 023. aa. (Paper, fol. 1, numbered 14, c. 19 x 8.5 cm. ; Il. 7 of elegant, formal Dbu-can script. The reverse, really the obverse, is similar.)

KK. v. b. 031. h. (Paper : c. 14.5 x II cm. ; two concentric circular bands, enclosing a flower-shaped figure of four petals with a circular centre. In the five compartments are pieces of minutt Dbu-med script : outside the figure are two lines to left and a short phrase to right, in similar script. Reverse, a similar figure. An attached leaf has 11. 9 + 8 of text.)
The object is an amulet consisting of invocations within the figure and a direction outside to the effect that the document is to be worn on the body.
