Dedication-aspiration
This group of texts is introduced in Situ Panchen’s catalogue to the Degé Kangyur as a fifth subsection of the Tantra Compendium, in addition to the subsections containing tantric works of the four major categories, containing dedication prayers and expressions of auspiciousness as a concluding “branch of excellence” (phun sum tshogs pa’i yan lag).
The 19 works in the section are mainly short extracts from longer works. Toh 809-815 take the form of dedication prayers, while Toh 816-827 are mainly expressions of well-wishing and auspiciousness in verse.
The catalogue only gives details of the first two texts, Toh 809 and 810, which are also the longest. The remaining works, it says, are present as final ornaments.

The Aspiration Prayer from “Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm”
སྟོང་ཆེན་མོ་རབ་ཏུ་འཇོམས་པའི་སྨོན་ལམ། · stong chen mo rab tu ’joms pa’i smon lam
Summary
This short text contains a set of verses spoken by the Buddha as he put an end to the epidemic of Vaiśālī, extracted from one of the two main accounts of that episode. The verses call for well-being, especially by invoking the qualities of the Three Jewels and a range of realized beings and eminent gods. The text comprises two passages from the parent work, and of these the first and longest corresponds closely to a well-known Pali text, the Ratana-sutta, widely recited for protection and blessings.
