- into the nature of immaculate lapis lazuli,
- because of its purity one would see in it

- DP "yāna."
- I follow MB saddharmakāyam adhyātmaṃ (corresponding to DP nang gi dam pa’i chos sku) against J saddharmakāyaṃ madhyasthaṃ.
- With Schmithausen and against Takasaki, I take the compound °viṣamasthānāntaramala as consisting of viṣamasthāna, antara, and mall.
- VT (fol. 16r4) glosses śubhra as "clear, transparent" (svacchā). Śubhra can also mean "radiant," "splendid," "spotless," and "bright"; DP have mazes pa.
- I follow Schmithausen’s suggested reading of MB surapatibhavanavyūhendramarutām against J surapatibhavanaṃ māhendramarutām, with °vyūha being supported by D tshogs (P mistakenly has sna tshogs instead of gas tshogs). The maruts are the storm gods who are the retinue of Indra.
- I follow de Jong’s suggested reading cittāny udpādayanti (supported by D seems rab bskyed byed; P mistakenly has gshegs instead of seems) against J cittān vyutpādayanti and Chowdury’s "correction" citrāṇy utpādayanati (see de Jong 1968, 50). Obviously, this refers to all the kinds of mind-sets that represent or flow from bodhicitta.
