[ There are no chapter numberings in this text. Kaneko has a slightly longer (and slightly different) list of chapters (see notes below for correspondences); sTog has far more. These relationships are worth exploring further. A comparison between the titles of our chapters, and those of mTshams brag, as given in the Virginia catalogue, produces the following correspondences. Our ch. 1-13 correspond respectively to Virginia’s chapters 13, 23, 24, 29, 38, 39, 40, 41, 48, 53, 54, 55, 56. ]
