• The works of Mar pa primarily concerned with Hevajra (etc.) are listed in this passage from the Lho rong chos 'byung (p. 50): kye rdor la 'bum chung nyi ma dang / le'u dang po'i ṭi ka mdzad / gur la srog shing dang / chos drug pa'i ka dpe / tshigs su bcad pa brgyad pa / e waṃ gyi man ngag / aṇṭa'i srung 'khor / mthu chung phyir zlog / kha sbyor dbye ba / klu sdigs pa / srid pa spel ba / las rgya'i chos bco lnga dang / ma ya'i lhag chung / gdan bzhi'i sgrub thabs. The same page tells us his translations: gdan bzhi'i rgyud chen po dang / dud sol / gur.
• There is a valuable discussion of problems with his dates in a footnote in The Life of Marpa the Translator, Prajñā Press (Boulder 1982), pp. 199-201. He died at age 88 in the biography translated in this publication, while other sources having him dying at age 85 (or 86). The most commonly given dates given by past Tibetologists was 1012-1096, but they were just copying each other (based on Blue Annals, evidently). The Rngog family sources (and hence the Lho rong chos 'byung) agree that Mar pa's dates ought to be 996-1084 (according to this, also, he lived 88 years).
• PPTK, pp. 278-279, gives his dates as 1012-1097, and lists 10 works purportedly composed by him, including a very long Rnam bshad commentary on Guhyasamāja and a rather long commentary on the root tantra of Cakrasamvara.
