From John Canti:

Just pointing out a curiosity that doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere. In the Lhasa (zhol) Kangyur, vol. 29, is the Prajñāpāramitā in 8,000 Lines (brgyad stong pa), which ends on folio 522.b (p.1044), with a long colophon similar to those in other Kangyurs on folios 522.b to 523.b (1044-1046). The sūtra is then followed in this volume by more than a hundred pages of assorted texts some of which seem to be by Tsongkhapa but are not listed in either BDRC's outline or rKTs’s handlist.

1) byang chub sems dpa' sems dpa' chen po rtagtu ngu'i rtogs pa brjodpa'i snyan dngags dpag bsam gyi ljong pa (an avadāna of the bodhisattva-mahāsattva Sadaprarudita) folios 523.b to 555.b (pp. 1046-1110) — this is also in Tsongkhapa’s gsung ‘bum.

Tsong kha pa blo bzang grags pa. “Byang chub sems dpaʼ sems dpaʼ chen po rtag tu nguʼi rtogs pa brjod paʼi snyan dngags dpag bsam gyi ljong pa.” gSung ʼbum tsong kha pa (bkras lhun par rnying ldi lir bskyar par brgyab pa), vol. 3, Ngawang Gelek Demo, 1975, pp. 242–96. Buddhist Digital Resource Center (BDRC), purl.bdrc.io/resource/MW22109_E7ED34. [BDRC bdr:MW22109_E7ED34]

2) another untitled text in mixed verse and prose which seems to be some sort of aspiration prayer, not part of the text above in Tsongkhapa’s gsung ‘bum, and seemingly a different genre, folios 555.b to 559.b (pp. 1110-1118).

Is found on page 20 of Volume 1 of bde smon zhing mchog sgo 'byed mchod chog tu bsgrigs pa 'chi med dpal ster/ bdr:I4CZ75530

3) another (?) text by Tsongkhapa, possibly (from the colophon) entitled thog ma dang bar dang tha mar dge ba’i smon lam written in Drigung Thil, folios 559.b to 561.b (pp. 1118-1122).

Tsong kha pa blo bzang grags pa. “Thog ma dang bar dang tha mar dge baʼi smon lam.” gSung ʼbum tsong kha pa (zhol), vol. 2, Mongolian Lama Guru Deva, 1978–1979, pp. 676–80. Buddhist Digital Resource Center (BDRC), purl.bdrc.io/resource/MW635_9D9E5D. [BDRC bdr:MW635_9D9E5D]

4) what seems to be sādhana of Bhaiṣajyaguru (sang rgyas sman bla), written by blo bzang chos kyi rgyal mtshan (presumably Panchen Lama I), folios 562.a to 569.a (pp. 1123-1137).

Also in BDRC: bdr:I1PD34004, bdr.I4CZ294589, UT1KG5988_001, bdr:I4PD4321, and other anthologies.

5) sman mdo nas gsungs pa’i bAI DU r+ya’i snying po, the essence-dhāraṇī of Bhaiṣajyaguru extracted from the “sman mdo”, folios 569.a to 570.b (pp. 1137-1138).

6) (intriguingly) an aspiration-dedication well known in the Nyingma tradition, rdo rje dbyings kyi dkyil 'khor zhal phyes tshe smon lam, extracted from gter ma by Chogyur Lingpa, folios 570.b to 571.b (pp. 1140-1142).

7) dam chos rin po che nye bar bzhengs pa’i bar byang mtshon byed kyi rab tu byed pa, seemingly a zhabs brtan and prayer for the doctrine, no author mentioned, folios 571.b to 577.a (pp. 1142-1153).
