Provisional reading
Incomplete AI-assisted draft; not expert reviewed. The ten pages are non-consecutive. [?] flags an unresolved span or nearby tentative reading; see the notes. Missing text has not been reconstructed. Translations use a provisional English reading and can inherit its errors. A language version is not a complete or certified translation of the page.
[Continued from the preceding page:] …we request that [it] be granted to all […]. Lord, when [you] rendered service to the guru, [you were] like the wool of a white, auspicious sheep. Yogi who benefits everyone, to [you], the compassionate one, I offer supplication. The ḍākinī’s hand… [continues in L2]

Body, line 1 (top)
The opening belongs to a sentence begun on the preceding page; its missing recipient and object have not been reconstructed. གཡང་དཀར is retained as printed and rendered literally as an auspicious/white epithet of the sheep. The final ཕྱག་ joins གི་མཆོད་རྟེན་དེ in L2; the translation intentionally remains unfinished here.
[Continuing L1:] …that stupa in [her] hand: we request that [it] be granted to us, [your] sons and disciples. Lord, when [you] abandoned worldly activities, [you were] like a sage, a king of knowledge. Unchanging yogi, to [you], the courageous one, I offer supplication.

Body, line 2
དྲང་སྲོང་རིག་པའི་རྒྱལ་པོ is translated descriptively; no particular sage or proper-name identification is supplied. The construction ཕྱག་གི་མཆོད་རྟེན is literally ‘the stupa of [the ḍākinī’s] hand’; ‘in her hand’ is a working interpretation. This applies to every repetition.
That stupa in the ḍākinī’s hand: we request that [it] be granted to us, [your] sons and disciples. Lord, when [you] meditated on the guru’s instructions, [you were] like a tigress eating a human corpse. Yogi without doubt, to [you], the persevering one, supplication… [continues in L4]

Body, line 3
The final གསོལ་ continues as བ་འདེབས in L4. The graphic simile མི་རོ (‘human corpse’) is retained literally.
[Continuing L3:] …I offer. That stupa in the ḍākinī’s hand: we request that [it] be granted to us, [your] sons and disciples. Lord, when [you] travelled[?] through uninhabited valleys, [you were] like a boulder of iron without cracks[?]. Unchanging yogi… [the supplication continues in L5]

Body, line 4
འགྲིམ[?]: the reading without final ས is preferred; འགྲིམས is a possible alternative. The following words appear to be ཙ་ན, not the OCR hint’s པ་ན. སྲུབས[?]: the compact stack is not securely resolved. Preferred reading སྲུབས, ‘crack/crevice’; alternative སྦུབས, ‘hollow/interior’, would yield ‘without a hollow’. The OCR hint’s སྤྲུབས is not adopted as certain.
To [you], who have abandoned contrivance, I offer supplication. That stupa in the ḍākinī’s hand: we request that [it] be granted to us, [your] sons and disciples. Lord, when [you] displayed signs and miraculous manifestations, [you were] like an elephant and a white lion. Trepidation… [continues in L6 as ‘without trepidation’]

Body, line 5
སེང་དཀར་མོ is retained as visible; it has not been silently expanded to སེང་གེ་དཀར་པོ. ཉམ་ང་ at the end of this line belongs with མེད་པའི in L6; it does not assert that the addressee is fearful.
[Continuing L5:] …yogi without [trepidation], to [you], free from fear, I offer supplication. That stupa in the ḍākinī’s hand: we request that [it] be granted to us, [your] sons and disciples. Lord, when [you] generated experiences and signs of warmth, the moon of the fifteenth [day]… [continues on the following page]

Body, line 6 (bottom)
ཉམས and དྲོད་རྟགས are rendered literally as ‘experiences’ and ‘signs of warmth’; their more specific contemplative interpretation requires expert review. The visible body ends with བཅོ་ལྔའི་ཟླ་བ་. The OCR hint’s trailing ཉ་ and other material are not visibly supported on this page and have not been appended.
How to read this leaf
Matreya's editorial interpretation, prepared with AI assistance and not specialist-reviewed. It is separate from the translated source and is not an authoritative doctrinal commentary.
The repeated request for the stupa is accompanied by images of service, resolve, constancy and fearlessness. Animal comparisons work as poetic praise, not literal instructions. The unfinished lunar image should remain open.
Start with layout and line boundaries. Transcribe faithfully, mark uncertainty with [?], and keep normalisation separate. A reviewer must inspect the exact submitted version.
20–30 minutes: inspect one selected page, identify its regions or transcribe a few lines. Mark uncertainties; do not silently correct the source.
