bayasqulang=tu sine yurban Usun gray Rokini odun tokiyalduysan sayin edür-e Busa=dingdiir keb-tür bütügebei • Compiled by Sumatisâsanadhara/Lubsangdanjin by the request of Aywanglubsang or Nawanglubsang, the Jaya pandita of Kökeqota; printed in the monastery of Pusading by Cing-siu ca-si-tidu Damba qubilyan and monk tidu jasay-un blam-a Danjin. Cf. Heissig, PLB, pp. 12-15; Poppe-Hurvitz-Okada, nos 152-153; Sazykin, Katalog, I, no. 1642. Sazykin retains Éamcarano's old datation who read firaduyar 'sixtieth' instead of firyuduyar 'sixth' year of the Kangxi period in the text, i.e., 1721 instead of 1667, because this latter year usually accepted for the edition of the text is not a white/iron-she-ox year, while 1721 actually is, and it is easier to accept a mistake in a single number than in a full, four-component date of the sexagenary cycle. Or, are the date of the compilation (1667, a sheep year?) and that of the print (1721, an ox year) telescoped in this colophon? Cf. L. S. Puckovskij, Sobranie mongol'skih rukopisej. pp. 91-93. ; L.
