Recreating the Treasury of Dohā Verses

This chapter examines two cases in which Saraha's Treasury of dohā Verses were drastically transformed in the process of commentary and transmission in Tibet. The first case deals with the changes brought about by Indian tantric commentator Advayavajra who authored and compiled the Extensive Commentary on the Treasury of dohā Verses. The second case is concerned with the earliest Tibetan commentaries on the Treasury of dohā Verses where author Ling Repa intentionally rearranged verses to teach his disciples better.
