The other rNying ma tantras included by Grags pa rgyal mtshan were three Māyājāla texts, the Phur pa rtsa ba’i dum bu, and the Thabs kyi zhags pa (a full version of which survives in the Dunhuang ms. IOLTibJ321). Grags pa rgyal mtshan’s tantra list was a source for the first Kanjur, and it is interesting that Kanur tantra lists generally include these six Rnying ma texts.
