THE HISTORY OF THE KINGS OF LA-DVAGS
I. Introductory Verses
(L MS.) Adorned with the thousand eyes of knowledge which surveys the three times,
Fruits of the merit of tenfold a hundred sacrifices of good deeds,
May the Indra of strength, being addressed, give with his heavenly sword
Answer to the intolerable lightnings strong with flickering desire.
(S MS.) Having been made to toss upon the breast of the gazelle-eyed one (Ri-
dvags-mig-can, Mrigākshī), [who is] religion itself,

NOTES
The three times mentioned in the first verse are past, present, and future. Gesar (Kesar, Kyesar) is a well-known deity of the pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet.. A book on history or geography is generally called a mirror.

And the 1,000 millions of gardens of lotuses, each consisting of four continents,
Which are all surrounded by the circular rampart (cakravāla).
All these appear as enumerators of Sag-thub's (Buddha's) name.
How in the almsbowl in the hand of the holy Rriam-par-snail-mdzad (Vairocana),
who is also called] Gans-chen-mtsho-rgyal, this. world of three thousand originated,
although variously related in the traditions, if we summarize it, following the Yon-
tan-bsdud pa : The ether is the receptacle of the air ; that (the air) the receptacle
of the mass of waters ; that (the water) the receptacle of the great earth ; that (the
