9. Translation of colophon The scribe is g.Yung drung rig ‘dzin (?) from the place called lHa ra sde (?)……the lord of the place Monthang…… May it in the future benefit all living beings; may the doctrine of gYung drung Bon flourish and propser. Good fortune, good fortune, good fortune.
10. Remarks The first half of the text belongs to the Bon ritual of general fumigation, and the second half to the ransom rite (glud chung) featuring Padmasambhava (v070_IMG_ 2490_2492). The colophon seems to contain features of the local dialect.
