662 The Tibetan translation of the *Siddhasāra* (Tibetan title: gces-grub), extant in its entirety and contained in the Tanjur (see the references in the Intr. to the *Siddhasāra*, 3), is a close prose rendering with some additional matter. The part corresponding to the Khotanese version has been edited in transcription by H.W. Bailey (Khotanese Texts I, 5–105). A new edition of the complete text has appeared as vol. II of R.E. Emmerick’s *Siddhasāra*-series: The *Siddhasāra* of Ravigupta, vol. 2: the Tibetan version with facing English translation, edited and translated by R.E. Emmerick; *Verzeichnis der orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland*, Supplementband 23, 2, Wiesbaden 1982; reviewed by D. Pingree (JRAS 1984, 1, 157–158) and in the IIJ (28, 1985, 226). The Tibetan translation, due to Jinamitra, Ādityavarman and Candra, is to be dated to the early ninth century (R.E. Emmerick, 1977a: 215; Intr. to the *Siddhasāra*, 2–3). Bhagwan Dash (1976a: 15) mentions Jinamitra and Atirāgyavarman as the translators (see, however, the colophon of the Tibetan version).
