Bodhisattvamaṇyāvalī

Bodhisattvamaṇyāvalī [alt. Bodhisattvamaṇevalī] (T. byang chub sems dpa'i nor bu'i phreng ba), or The Bodhisattva’s Garland of Jewels, is a lojong text attributed to Atiśa.

Thupten Jinpa states:

Although this text appears in the Tengyur (Toh 3951) as a self-standing work, it also exists almost in its entirety in another of Atiśa’s works, entitled Letter of Unblemished Precious Jewels (Toh 4188), a letter sent by Atiśa to the Indian Bengali royalty Nayapāla from Nepal. Noting this, the Tibetan historian Pawo Tsuklak Trengwa asserts that Bodhisattva’s Jewel Garland may actually have been compiled by Dromtönpa by drawing from Atiśa’s writings. See his Joyful Feast for the Learned (Mkas pa’i dga’ ston), p. 709.
