The first, a fundamental work (rca-ba), is the Pratltyasamutpäda-hrdaya-kärikä, while the other is Pratltyasamutpäda-hrdaya-vyäkhyäna; with a commentary written by the author himself. In those versified works the author deals with the chain of causality. Both can be found in the Tanjur, Mdo-'grel (dbu-ma, Vol. 33). Cf. Suzuki, No. 5467, No. 5468.
