3. M. Tagh. 0436. (Paper: 1 fol., containing a complete document, c. 27 × 6·5 cm.; ll. 4 of normal epistolary
Dbu-can writing.)
The text is a letter, as follows:
[1] ☞ 1: ı tsha ı bo ı Btshan ı ra ıı daṅ ı tsha ı mo ı Lha ı ldem ı staṅs ı bsal · bya ³ 1 ı La ı Stag ı brla ı ḥi ı mchid ı

'To grandson Btshan-ra and grand-daughter Lha-ldem (staṅs-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.
PLATE CXXXII.
1. E. G. 023. jj. (Paper: c. 18 × 8 cm.; ll. 6 of ordinary Dbu-can script. On the reverse, really the obverse,
ll. 6 of the same.)
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.
ll. 2–3: gcig · gi · rjes · su · gcig · hoṅ · na ı
kluṅ · skam · las · kyaṅ · chu · rgyun · ḥbab ı
śi[ṅ] · skam · las · kyaṅ · lo · ḥdab · rgyas ı
bu · tsha · med · jźna · bu · thob · ḥgyur ı
The reverse contains the preceding part of the same text, which refers to a mo or cast of dice (?), concerning
which form of divination see Professor A. H. Francke's article in the Berlin Academy Sitzungsberichte, Phil.-
Hist. Klasse, 1924, pp. 10–12.
2. E. G. 023. aa. (Paper, fol. 1, numbered 14, c. 19 × 8·5 cm.; ll. 7 of elegant, formal Dbu-can script.
The reverse, really the obverse, is similar.)
Interpretation of a lucky mo, which is not to be shown to any one.
ll. 2–3: ı khyod · ci · byas · tshabs · su · ḥgro · bar · ḥdug ı khyim · cha · don · cha · bzaṅ ı mo · hdi · mi · la · ma ·
bśad · sñiṅ · la · ḥtshoṅs ı
The reverse contains the preceding part of the same text.
3. KK. v. b. 031. h. (Paper: c. 14·5 × 11 cm.; two concentric circular bands, enclosing a flower-shaped figure
of four petals with a circular centre. In the five compartments are pieces of minute 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 ll. 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.
