Not having seen (reliable records), I have only written here some of the ways that can be trusted. The histories up to King Rāmapāla, I have seen a work composed by the Paṇḍita Sa Wang Zangpo of Magadha, with a length of two thousand ślokas. I have also heard from some Lama Paṇḍitas. Here, based on that, there is also a work called Buddhapurāṇa blessed by the royal family's Paṇḍita Wangpo, which contains the complete story up to the fourth Sena dynasty king, with a length of one thousand two hundred verses. In addition, the biography of the lineage of teachers by the Brahmin Paṇḍita Bhaṭāghaṭi, with a length similar to the previous one, I have also supplemented well from these two books. The chronological arrangements of each, except for minor details, are mostly consistent among the three. Those also seem to mainly describe how the Dharma arose in the kingdoms under the sun, but as for how Kashmir, Uḍḍiyāna, Tokharistan, the South, Koki, and the various islands evolved, because I have not seen detailed texts, nor have I heard of them, I have been unable to write. The scattered stories of later times, although there were no written records before, are trustworthy as they come from oral tradition. I have also recorded the contents that appear in the Garland of Stories. Thus, this rare jewel of stories, strung together with the thread of easy-to-understand words, is woven into a garland of harmony and bliss to adorn the necks of the wise. For those holy beings who have contributed to the cause of the Buddha's teachings, may faith greatly increase, and may the distinction between whether scriptures have a basis or not be known, this is the necessity of this book. May faith in the sacred Dharma also increase, and may the good deeds of those learned and accomplished Dharma holders be clearly understood, this is also the necessity of this book. Having faith in the path and the individuals, and entering their respective Dharma, ultimately attaining Buddhahood, this is said to be the main purpose. May all sentient beings, through this merit, enter into this virtuous conduct, attain the state of unsurpassed Buddhahood, and be adorned with all qualities. The source of auspiciousness, to clearly show how the precious and sacred Dharma flourished in the noble land, is called "The Wish-Fulfilling Jewel."

This was composed by Gyal Kham Pa Ta Ra Na Tha at the age of thirty-four, in the Earth Monkey year (1608) on a Thursday, in the Dharma Palace of Drakto (Brag stod), prompted by some requests and also seeing its benefit to others. May the precious doctrine spread and flourish in all directions and remain for a long time! Like the source of the four noble ones, the victorious mother Prajnaparamita. The manner in which the sacred Dharma arose in the noble land of India. Like the pure words of the oral transmission of the noble ones and scholars. This was composed as if perceived directly by noble wisdom. Although it is worthy for those who desire liberation to listen with one mind. However, like a treasure beneath the earth, only the name is seen. Jamyang Lama opened the door of wisdom and compassion. Like bestowing nectar, he showered a new and excellent rain of wishes. (《ཛཾ》（Tibetan, Devanagari, Romanized Sanskrit, Chinese literal meaning）+ The root of benefit and happiness for all beings is unparalleled, this is the great temple of all Buddhas. Please, protector, remain for hundreds of kalpas, and look upon us sentient beings with compassion. The second Buddha, the emanation of the omniscient Jonangpa, the venerable Yonten Sangpo, in the year 1995, in order to increase the un衰ing of the teachings, the woodblock print of the complete works of the omniscient Ta Ra Na Tha in the great Dharma school of Dzamthang Tsang, with the merit of this construction, may all beings who have not attained enlightenment attain complete enlightenment. May auspiciousness and glory adorn the world.) Sarva Mangalam. Auspicious! The story called "A Talk Like a Source of Jewels: The Wonderful and Marvelous Biography of the Seven-Fold Transmission." Om Svasti! Homage to the Guru! The story called "A Talk Like a Source of Jewels: The Wonderful and Marvelous Biography of the Seven-Fold Transmission." I prostrate to the feet of the holy Lama. To all the assemblies of root and lineage Lamas who illuminate the path of Vajradhara for all beings, I repeatedly prostrate with respectful mind, and briefly describe the manner of their deeds. The accomplished being is only one, and even his wondrous deeds are endowed with miraculous tongues, so it is impossible to describe them in hundreds of kalpas, but I will write according to the words of the Lamas. Here, before our holy Lama, named Sangye Sabpa's Protector, the intention and speech of all Buddhas of the three times are beyond...

因为具有刹那刹那不断进入大海的威力，所以圣法的教诲有多少，是无法衡量的。然而，尊者您的根本上师，大成就者寂静尊者曾说，您具有七种加持的传承。而且，尊者您也很好地听闻了所有这些教诲。其中，第一个传承是大手印的诀窍。那是伟大的导师，名叫婆罗门罗睺罗，出生于邬仗衍那。种姓是婆罗门。从年轻时起，就精通包括吠陀及其分支在内的所有十八种知识和八种论证。他教导五百名婆罗门儿童诵读秘密咒语。这时，金刚瑜伽母化现为卖酒女的形象前来，多次赐予导师看似令人陶醉的真实智慧甘露。当他毫无分别地饮用时，内心获得了殊胜的禅定。但是，却出现了婆罗门种姓被玷污的恶名。于是，婆罗门们想要贬低他。导师因为内在瑜伽的力量而获得了能力，所以对婆罗门们做了呕吐酒的举动。他将一块巨大的石头扔向大海，说道：如果我喝了酒，这块石头就沉下去；如果你们喝了，而我没喝，它就浮起来。结果，石头浮在了水面上。于是，婆罗门们被他的力量所折服，前往中部地区，出家为佛教徒。逐渐地，他成为了最杰出的三藏比丘。这位导师的堪布是寂黑。他的堪布是比丘马鸣。他的堪布是近护，虽然上师是这样说的，但这些古老的堪布传承难以考证。在藏地的戒律传承中，据说他是罗睺罗的亲传弟子，但最好还是不加考证地保留。之后，他成为了那烂陀寺的堪布。广泛地从事弘扬佛法的事业。据说，大乘经部的极度兴盛也是在这个导师的时代。之后，是智慧猛力的行

Because he has the power to enter the ocean moment by moment, it is impossible to measure how much the holy Dharma teachings he possesses. However, your root guru, the great accomplished master Peaceful One, is said to have the seven blessings of empowerment. And you have also listened well to all of those instructions. Among them, the first empowerment is the essential instruction of Mahamudra. That is, the great teacher named Brahmin Rahula was born in Oddiyana. His caste was Brahmin. From a young age, he became proficient in all eighteen branches of knowledge, including the Vedas and their branches, and the eight kinds of reasoning. He was teaching five hundred Brahmin children to recite secret mantras. At that time, Vajrayogini came in the form of a wine seller and repeatedly bestowed upon the teacher the nectar of true wisdom, which appeared to be intoxicating. When he drank it without discrimination, he attained supreme samadhi within. However, the bad reputation of defiling the Brahmin caste arose. Therefore, the Brahmins wanted to degrade him. The teacher, having gained power through the strength of inner yoga, performed the act of vomiting wine on the Brahmins. He threw a large stone into the ocean and said, "If I have drunk wine, let this stone sink; if you have drunk it and I have not, let it float." As a result, the stone floated on the water. Then the Brahmins, subdued by his power, went to the central region and became ordained as Buddhists. Gradually, he became the most excellent Bhikshu of the three pitakas. The Khenpo of this teacher was Sthavira Krishna. His Khenpo was Bhikshu Asvaghosa. His Khenpo was Nera Gupta, although the Lama said so, these old Khenpo lineages are difficult to verify. In the Tibetan Vinaya lineage, it is said that he was a direct disciple of Rahula, but it is best to leave it without investigation. After that, he became the Khenpo of Nalanda Monastery. He extensively engaged in the activities of propagating the Dharma. It is said that the great flourishing of the Mahayana Sutra tradition also occurred during the time of this teacher. After that, the practice of wisdom and forceful power

考虑到利益众生，他（萨ra哈）的意念始终安住于无相三摩地中，周游于各种地方，最终在南方名为马拉哈塔的地方，他看到了一位能解脱自身传承的田野瑜伽母，她是一位弓箭手的女儿。通过她调整箭等行为，以象征性的方式揭示了实相的意义，如同被介绍一般，他直接证悟了法性。他将那位弓箭手的女儿带为明妃，在各种地方享用，并从事制作弓箭的工作。他的智慧越来越增长，因此被称为亚萨ra哈，意为“箭已射出”。 之前，他曾是所有僧团的上座，因此非常有名。无数的众生，包括国王等前来拜见并嘲笑他。 像老师调整箭一样，他说：“喂，我是婆罗门，与饮酒的女人一同享乐。我没有看到种姓和非种姓的区别。比丘剃着头，持着苦行，带着妻子一同游走。没有执着和无执着的分别。这不净之处是分别念，其他人不了解这个道理。对于像毒蛇一样的众生。”等等，他唱了很多多哈金刚歌。结果，包括国王在内的五千人直接证悟了实相的意义，身体也变成了持明者，他们以神通力在空中行走，最终消失不见。 此外，通过大手印来象征心的本性，出现了成百上千的证悟者，他们的名声传遍了四面八方。据说他利益了许多众生后，以那个身体前往了其他的佛土。 这是按照藏人的说法所做的。后来，在一份零散的《佛顶经》汉文手稿中，没有中间出家的部分，并且似乎认为婆罗门罗睺罗和上座罗睺罗是不同的。米娘译师似乎也这样认为，但那种观点没有不合理的理由。 他的弟子是龙树论师，他出生在南方毗达婆，种姓是婆罗门。出生时，占卜师们为一百名比丘、一百名婆罗门和一百名普通人举办了宴会。

Considering the benefit of beings, he (Saraha) remained steadfast in the samadhi of no characteristics, wandering in various places. Eventually, in the southern region called Marahaṭa, he saw a field yogini who would liberate his own lineage, a daughter of an archer. Through her actions of adjusting arrows, etc., she revealed the meaning of reality in a symbolic way. As if introduced, he directly realized the nature of reality. He took that archer's daughter as his consort, enjoyed her in various places, and engaged in the work of making arrows. His wisdom grew more and more, so he was called Ya Saraha, meaning "arrow shot." Previously, he had been the Sthavira (Elder) of all the Sangha, so he was very famous. Countless beings, including kings, came to see and mock him. Like the teacher adjusting the arrow, he said, "Hey, I am a Brahmin, enjoying myself with a drinking woman. I do not see the difference between caste and non-caste. A monk with a shaved head, holding ascetic practices, walks together with his wife. There is no distinction between attachment and non-attachment. This impurity is conceptual thought; others do not understand this principle. For beings like venomous snakes," etc. He sang many Doha Vajra songs. As a result, five thousand people, including the king, directly realized the meaning of reality, and their bodies also became Vidyadharas (knowledge holders). They walked in the sky with miraculous powers and eventually disappeared. Furthermore, through the Mahamudra symbolizing the nature of mind, hundreds and thousands of realized beings appeared, and their fame spread in all directions. It is said that after benefiting many beings, he went to other Buddha-fields with that very body. This is done according to the Tibetan tradition. Later, in a scattered Chinese manuscript of the Buddha Topa Sutra, there was no part about ordination in the middle, and it seemed to consider the Brahmin Rahula and the Sthavira Rahula as different. The Minyak translator also seemed to think so, but there is no reason why that view is unreasonable. His disciple was the teacher Nagarjuna, who was born in the southern Vidarbha, and his caste was Brahmin. At his birth, the diviners held a feast for one hundred monks, one hundred Brahmins, and one hundred ordinary people.
