- DP "drum of dharma" (chos kyi raga).
- I follow VT’s (fol. 16r4) gloss of °praṇudanaṃ as °pravartanaṃ. DP have sell ba, thus reading "to dispel the victorious [war]play of the forces of the asuras."
- I follow MB apramādapadasaṃniyojanatayā (supported by DP bag yod pa’i gnas la rab tu sbyor bas) against J apramādasaṃniyojanatayā.
- Skt. vivecana usually means "distinction" or "examination" (corresponding to DP ram par ’byed pa). However, as de Jong points out, in Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit, vivecayati means "causing to abandon,"dissuading from." This seems to fit the present context of standing in contrast to "bringing close to" (upasaṃharaṇa) better.
