intro.26

Like the Tib-3 version of the Karma­vibhaṅga, the summary of the fifty-one karmic categories at the beginning of Transformation of Karma (–) does not include the items contained in – (a list of ten negative consequences each of the actions of killing, stealing, lying, unchastity, and drinking alcohol) or – (the advantages gained by making various offerings at caityas). The Tib-3 version contains the advantages of venerating and making offerings at caityas, but it does not contain the list of five negative actions and their consequences included in – of Transformation of Karma. It is reasonable to argue, therefore, that – of Transformation of Karma, and perhaps a portion of –, are later additions to the text.
