1 In Sanskrit Kaundinya, one of the earliest disciples of Sakyamuni, who
will teach the Buddha law at a very remote period. See Burnouf, "Le Lotus
de la Bonne Loi," p. 126; Csoraa, "Life of Sakya," As. Bes., Vol. XX.,
p. 293.

2 In Tibetan follow the two words rmos, "ploughed," and bsko\, "to boil
in oil or butter." As these two words have no apparent connexion, I have
omitted them in the text.

3 Here the Buddha is not called by name.

4 In Sanskrit Kasyapa, who is viewed as the third Buddha of the actual
period, or the immediate predecessor of Sakyamuni; particulars about his
nativity, race, age, disciples, &c, are to be found in Csonia's "Analysis," As.
Bes., Vol. XX., p. 415, and Foe koue ki, p. 180.
