| Abstract | Saraha is best known for having written the Treasury of Dohā Verses (dohākośa), a song cycle comprised of the People, Queen and King dohā. In fact the songs that constitute the dohākośa are but three among the twenty-six individual works attributed to him in the bstan 'gyur. Another group of poems that is often listed in Tibetan discussions of Saraha's Mahāmudrā transmission are the Immortal Body Treasury Adamantine Song (sku'i mdzod 'chi med rdo rje'i glu), the Gentle Voiced Speech Treasury Adamantine Song (gsungs gi mdzod 'jam dbyangs rdo rje'i glu), the Unborn Mind Treasury Adamantine Song (thugs gi mdzod skye med rdo rje'i glu) and the Mentally Unfabricated Body, Speech and Mind (sku gsung thugs yid la mi byed pa). This collection is a long, opaque set of poems that treat many ideas critical to the Mahāmudrā tradition. They have received nearly no attention, and for that reason even the most basic information has yet to be definitively established. This article treats the question of whether the Adamantine Song cycle is a trilogy or a quartet, drawing on Tibetan sources to establish the ambiguity with respect to this question and finally on a close reading of the songs themselves to establish a conclusion. |
