According to the colophon the author of the remarkably concise, versified works is Thon-mi Sambhota (Anu), who, according to tradition, created the Tibetan language in the middle of the 7th century. Both works are contained in the Tanjur (Tanjur, Mdo-'grel, no-mchar, Vol. 124). Most of the later Tibetan grammaticeil treatises are only systematic commentaries on these two fundamental works. Cf.
