This is an astrological (tsipa) text འབྲས་རྩིས་ཀུན་བསྡུས་རིན་ཆེན་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་བཞུགས་སོ། The volume contains several inserted pieces of paper which are perhaps unrelated to the Tsipa text. The first three more chowa like and the last an unrelated text on emptiness. The book contain four inserts: Insert 1. A printed page with text and eight images of pairs of nagas. One has been cut out. There are eight great nagas (ཀླུ་ཆེན་བརྒྱད་) Insert 2. A hand coloured wood block printed protector wheel སྲུང་འཁོར། Insert 3. A woodblock print of a Linga /demon figure. (ལིངྒ་) an image used in wrathful rituals Insert 4. A very small text about emptiness, unrelated to the main text (དེ་ཁོ་ན་ཉིད་མཚོན་པར་བྱེད་པ་སྙིང་པོ་དོན་གྱི་མན་ངག་བཞུགས་སོ།).
