Bibliography:

  • Garga samhitā, by Sage Garga, rendered into English by Shantilal Nagar, B.R. Publishing Co. (Delhi 2003), in 1207 pages, 2 volumes.
  • Thub pa chen po drang srong gar gas ltas kyi rnam pa bstan pa zhes bya ba'i gtsug lag. Tôh. no. 4321. Dergé Tanjur, vol. NGO, folios 20v.1-49r.7. The other title given in Dergé is slightly shorter: Thub pa chen po drang srong gar gas ltas kyi rnam pa bstan pa. Cordier evidently reconstructed the title as Mahāmuni-Gargarṣyakṣanimittākṛtinirdeśa. It is also to be found in the Tog Palace Manuscript Kanjur, no. 271 (where it is included in the sūtra section of the Kanjur!). On interpreting signs. Interesting example of a non-Buddhist text, in some sense accepted as canonical. There would seem to be a 'final' colophon at folio 33v, following chapter 15. There are some lists of countries near the end. Chapters 23 and 24 (ending on folio 45v) are on earthquakes.
    • Colophon in Dergé, folio 33v: thub pa chen po drang srong skar ma'i ltas kyi gtsug lag rma bya'i ltas sna tshogs bstan pa zhes bya ba'i ltas ji snyed pa rdzogs so. The ending of the text in Dergé text: Ārya sha ru la karṇa'i nang nas gza' skar gyi ltas 'byung ba btus pa / ltas dang mtshan ma dge bar gyur cig // rdzogs so.
    • Three Canonical Texts on Divination from a Lahoul Village Library: Tibetan Renderings of the Śārdūlakarṇāvadāna, the Dvādaśalocanasūtra, and of Garzha [i.e. Garga] on Omens, Khasdub Gyatso Shashin (Delhi 1978). "Reproduced from a manuscript belonging to Don grub Sha shin of Pata nam O longs."
    • Rhoton, CD, p. 197.
    • Sylvain Lévi, "La Gréce et l'Inde d'aprés les documents indiens," contained in: MSL, p. 193.
    • Sde srid, Mchod sdong, p. 434, quoting from Bu ston, lists this among works that should not be included in the Kanjur (although they evidently had been included there at some time). Here the title is given as Drang srong gar gas ltas kyi rnam pa bstan pa'i gtsug lag.
  • Gārgīyajyotia.
