A MONGOLIAN PRINTED FRAGMENT OF BODHICARYAVATARA FROM DUNHUANG century; the Tanjur version of 1748 (T)’ and the Buryats’ retranslation in the 19" century (B), etc. The Dunhuang fragment B121: 40 (Dh) corresponds to the text from the 3" line of stanza 107 to the 1" line of stanza 108 of the 8" chapter of the early Mongolian version of the Bodhicaryavatara. Although only a few words survived from the Dunhuang version, a comparison of our text with the corresponding lines in the above-mentioned documents revealed that it is much closer to the New Delhi manuscript than to the Tanjur version, corresponding to the former almost word for word and line for line, only except of one word.
