Permalink: http://purl.bdrc.io/resource/MW1KG14335. For some reason BDRC does not supply any table of contents (in October 2025), although they do give a link to the borrowable text in archive.org: https://archive.org/details/bdrc-W1KG14335/bdrc-W1KG14335-1/.

5. Rje btsun mid la ras pa'i rnam par thar pa nyi zla'i 'od zer sgron ma. 154-331.
The lineages found at the end mostly end with Zhi byed Ri khrod pa (Zhi byed ras pa? Toni Huber calls him G.yung ston Zhi byed ri pa, dating him to ca. early 15th century), and so it must be regarded as having been set down in writing by him, I suppose. He names himself on p. 331, line 6 (and once again near the very end of the text): Dge slong Zhi byed Ri khrod pa.
6. Rje btsun mi la'i rnam thar gsol 'debs. 332-333.
