Collection No. 8-94-801.2 is the ‘other’ volume of 77 of ‘Avataṃsaka’, and it was woodblock printed. It was first introduced by Heijdra and Cao 1992. The total volume is 112 pages, with 670 lines of Tangut script (Chinese version: Taisho No. 0279 『大方広仏華厳経』 in Taisho vol. 10 (pp. 419c–428a)). This is valuable, since the woodblocks of volume 77 have not been preserved anywhere else in the world. In this work, after briefly introducing material: No. 8-94-801.2, I present the text, phonetic reconstruction, Japanese translation with annotations, and corresponding Chinese version of all lines.
