Commentary of Ratnagotravibhāga Mahāyānottaratantraśāstra
SOURCE TEXT
Jamgön Kongtrul's commentary on the Uttaratantra which, according to Brunnhölzl, draws heavily from Dölpopa's work on the same subject. Over the course of time since Kongtrul's passing at the dawn of the 20th century up until the present this text has become the primary commentary to the Uttaratantra used in the Kagyu tradition.

Description from When the Clouds Part
Though this commentary (JKC) is the one that is used most widely in the Kagyü tradition at present, it is not translated in this volume for two reasons. First, except for its introduction (which incorporates a significant number of passages from BA and GC), JKC is for the most part an almost literal copy of Dölpopa’s commentary on the Uttaratantra.[1] Interestingly, this commentary does not exhibit the strong Shentong approach so familiar from Dölpopa’s major other works (it probably was composed prior to the revelation that lead to the formulation of his Shentong view). Secondly, JKC has already been translated.[2] However, some relevant excerpts from this commentary are incorporated throughout this book.
