The Nirvikalpapravesadhāraṇī (Dhāraṇī For Entering into the Unmediated State) is a short yet consequential scripture, which has been at least twice translated into Tibetan and Chinese, judging from the surviving manuscripts found in Dunhuang. Several Indian masters, including Sthiramati, Kamalaśīla, Vimalamitra, Ratnākaraśānti, and Atīśa, explicitly cited and commented on this text in their writings. 

The page and line numbers in Matsuda (1996)'s reconstruction refer to the Leningrad manuscript, which consists of three long paper sheets. Unfortunately, the left end of the manuscript has gone lost, leaving roughly 18 missing akṣaras at the beginning of each line.

As for IOL Tib J 51, the original folio numbers are from “ka-5” to “ka-8,” and the IOL Vol pressmarks run from 39 to 42.

The folios of IOL Tib J 52 have been subject to three sets of pressmarks after its modern discovery, catelogued by LVP, TTMD and shown on the scanned photo on the IDP website. LVP uses no. 73 to refer to the first three folios and no. 93 to refer to the fourth. Only the pressmark 93 is still legible on the left corner of the recto. TTMD uses pressmarks 1-4 on the right corners of the rectos, though its order is different from LVP’s. IDP pressmarks run from 2 to 5 in yet another order.

The original leaves seem to bear no folio numbers. However, considering that the length of an extant folio’s content roughly equals to that of half a Derge folio’s content, it is safe to suppose that this Dunhuang manuscript originally comprises 10 folios in total. Here is a summary.
