Daily Veneration of the Buddhas — A small Tocharian B Buddhist devotional cluster preserved in two damaged witnesses, PK NS 48 and 258 from Duldur-akur and THT 552 from Kizil Ming-öy. The text preserves a practice of recollection: calling to mind the virtues of the Buddha, making vows for living beings, and remembering past and future Buddhas and noble disciples.

Duldur-akur — A Central Asian manuscript findspot associated with Tocharian and Buddhist manuscript remains. In the Good Works Tocharian shelf it appears as the findspot of the PK NS 48 and 258 witness for Daily Veneration of the Buddhas.

Kizil Ming-öy — The Kizil cave complex in the Kucha region, one of the major Buddhist artistic and manuscript environments of the northern Silk Road. THT 552, one witness of Daily Veneration of the Buddhas, is associated with Kizil Ming-öy.
