Note

"Though the epic here presented is divested of its tiresome redundances, it nevertheless contains all the chief incidents in the hero's adventures. I have based my work on manuscripts in my possession, on the notes that I have taken of the substance of other manuscripts, and on those written down by lama Yongden and by me [Mme. David-Neel] while folowing the songs of the different bards."--p. 48
