He composed his work on the inspiration of Stan-'jin 'brugrgyas, in the monastery of Rdo-gdan wags-ri. His scribe was Gans-ras dban-phyug, the copyist Sans-rgyas sen-ge. • This treatise is the commentary, written by the author himself, one of on the author's basic works, Gdan Dus thun-mon-gi rcis-gzi (Csoma-Collection No. 31), which, retaining the structural division of the original, is divided into 13 chapters. Alexander Csoma de Körös' interest in Suresamatibhadra's work was inspired by Sans-rgyas phun-chogs uho made a short extract for him of these two works (cf. No. 6/b).
