intro.36

A text bearing the title las rnam par ’byed pa zhes bya ba (Karma­vibhaṅganāma) in the Tengyur (Toh 3959) is an independent work attributed to the authorship of Atiśa Dīpaṅkaraśrījñāna (982–1054) and has no direct or explicit relation to the Karmavibhaṅga or the Tibetan versions. Apart from the Nepalese Sanskrit commentary contained in Lévi’s 1932 edition of the Karmavibhaṅga, we are aware of only one (combined) commentary on the las rnam par ’byed pa (Toh 338) and the (here so called) las rnam par ’gyur ba’i mdo (Toh 339) by Choné Lama Drakpa Shedrup (co ne bla ma grags pa bshad sgrub, 1675–1748).³⁸ No canonical commentary on the Karmavibhaṅga is known to us.
