About the book-: In the first part of this work, we have endeavoured to give a substantial and connected analysis, and frequently literal translations, of the greater part of the historical or legendary texts contained in the Tibetan Dulva or Vinayapitaka, which is unquestionably the most trustworthy, and probably the oldest portion of the Bkah-hgyur. By frequent reference to the pages of the original (the East India Office copy of the Bkah-hgyur), we hope we will have facilitated researches in the cumbrous Tibetan volumes, to which no indices are attached. Some of the passages of this volume have been analysed by Anton Schiefner in his Tibetische Libensbescriebung Qakyamuni (St. Petersburg, 1849), but as the work from which he translated them was composed by a Tibetan lama of the seventeenth century, it could hardly be considered as authoritative, and it has been thought advisable not to omit these documents in their original Tibetan form.
