A handwritten unbound Tibetan text (pecha) on a mix of papers, some modern and some handmade folios of different sizes. Written in "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script. A text for a ritual to reduce negative karma, the result of sins. Prostrations to all wrathful gods and goddesses. In practice this ritual process is sometimes undertaken by an individual who does the prostrations while the text is read aloud or chanted by chowa(s) or many lama(s) དྲག་སྒྲུབ་ལྷ་ཚོགས་རྣམས་ལ་ཕྱག་འཚལ་ལོ།།.
