Snye-mdo-ba’s Medical History

Nyedowa’s Medical History

Date of composition:  circa 1300

File version: March 18, 2021

Tibetan Histories bibliography, no. 64.3:  Snye-mdo-ba Kun-dga'-don-grub (1268-1328 CE), Gso-ba Rig-pa'i Byung-tshul Lo-rgyus dang bcas-pa, contained in:  TTMT, vol. 20, text no. 18, in the form of an 11-folio cursive manuscript reproduction. This previously unknown medical history, largely limited to the origins of medicine in Tibet, was written by an important member of the Zhi-byed transmission lineage.

5r has account of how Vairocana received directly from Chandranandana the Bdud rtsi snying po, which evidently means the Rgyud bzhi (the full name of Rgyud bzhi is in fact Bdud rtsi snying po yan lag brgyad pa gsang ba man ngag gi rgyud), and translated it before handing it over to the king.

G.yu thog Mgon po (This is the name as found in Brang-ti's history also) is mentioned a few times, but never within an imperial period context (the 9 bla sman are listed, with him among them as is usual, but only as part of a much larger list of physicians of unspecified periods, most demonstrably belonging to the Later Propagation period).
