Sources Cited

Tibetan authors seldom cite sources by their full titles; rather they use contractions, and often different versions thereof. We tried to translate these versions in a straightforward way. However when a contraction seemed ambiguous or ungrammatical in English (for example, Kun byed [The All-Creating] instead of Kun byed rgyal po [The All-Creating Monarch] or Kun gsal [The All-Illuminating] instead of Thig le kun gsal [The All-Illuminating Sphere]), we opted for the longer version.
