In 1982 the Indian scholar Lokesh Chandra published in facsimile a collection of early Mongolian texts which had been cordoned off for censure in the Beijing Palace Library during the reign of the Manchu Qing emperor Qianlong in the 18th century. A team working for Lokesh Chandra’s father, Raghu Vira, had microfilmed the texts and returned with them to India where the West German scholar, Walther Heissig, realized their significance. Among these revealed texts is a unique and valuable specimen of Mongolian Buddhist literature, a Sa skya pa Buddhist treatise on salvation in pre-classical Mongolian verse, its title, Oyin-i geyigülügčü [The illumination of the mind]. The present article discusses the text, its provenance, content, and prosody and the extent of my work with it to date.
