Description
The Bodhyāpattideśanāvṛtti (Byang chub kyi ltung ba bshags pa'i 'grel pa; "Commentary on the Declaration of Downfalls of a Bodhisattva") is a commentary on the Triskandhakasūtra attributed to Nāgārjuna. The text explains the origin, structure, and practice of the confession liturgy addressed to the thirty-five buddhas, covering the four forces of confession, the visualization and homage to each of the thirty-five buddhas, and the concluding dedication. It was translated from Sanskrit into Tibetan by the Indian abbot Śāntarakṣita and the Tibetan translator Devaghoṣa. The text is preserved in the Tengyur, sūtra section, volume ji, folios 209b–220b.
