The Medium-Length Specific Discriminator or The Two Volumes on Grammar. (DP25)

Compiled by: Early Tibetan Scholars and Translators

This is a treatise found in the Tengyur (translated treatises) that establishes the methods used by the early Dharma Kings and scholar-translators to translate the holy Dharma into Tibetan. It is known as 'The Two Volumes on Grammar'."

This text appears to be an important work in the history of Tibetan Buddhism and linguistics. Here are some key points about it:

1. It's part of the Tengyur, which is the collection of commentaries and treatises in the Tibetan Buddhist Canon.
2. The text discusses the methodology used by early Tibetan kings and scholars to translate Buddhist texts from Sanskrit (and possibly other languages) into Tibetan.
3. It's also known as "The Two Volumes on Grammar," suggesting it has a strong focus on linguistic aspects of translation.
4. The work seems to be a compilation or collaborative effort by early Tibetan scholars and translators, rather than being attributed to a single author.
5. This text is likely crucial for understanding the development of Tibetan Buddhist terminology and the techniques used to accurately convey Buddhist concepts in the Tibetan language.
6. It may also provide insights into the standardization of translation practices in early Tibetan Buddhism, which was a key factor in the successful transmission of Buddhist teachings to Tibet.

This text would be of great interest to scholars of Tibetan Buddhism, linguists studying the development of the Tibetan language, and historians interested in the transmission of Buddhism to Tibet.
