But the psychological translation is in the first case: ‘This picture
is by-lines-(fine)-displaying’, and in the second case: ‘To this
picture there is a by-the-lines-(drawings)-ornamentation (or display).’
རྒྱལ་སྒོ་ see སྒོ་.
རྒྱལ་བ་, 6. According to J., III, also ‘superior, excellent, eminent.’
རྣམ་པར་རྒྱལ་བ་, ‘most excellent, illustrious.’ This may be the meaning
here. Whether there is a connection between the word as used here and
the རྒྱལ་བ་ title of the Dalai Lamas may be left undecided.
རྒྱུད་, 30. Here character, heart, disposition, etc. It is curious that
this meaning, given by J. and Desg., is absent in S. Ch. D.
སྒོ་, 39, 40. Door. Though the average Tibetan house (if it be not a mere
hut) has two doors, a front door and a back door, they are not on a
principle located in the eastern and western sides of the house. For
the text the words east and west have no special significance; they are
simply used དཔེ་འདྲ་པོ་, by way of speech, as an example, illustration or
comparison.
The front (main, public) door is called གཞུང་སྒོ་ or རྒྱ་ (or རྒྱལ་) སྒོ་. The
first word is interpreted as the ‘main,’ ‘public,’ or ‘middle’ door;
the second as the ‘wide’ or ‘royal’ door. The back door is called ལྟག་སྒོ་
(in J. s.v. ལྟག་པ་), which is explained as ‘the door for horses and
cattle.’ The སྐྱེད་སྒོ་ quoted by J., p. 29b, is unknown to my informants.
They only know a སྐྱེ་སྒོ་, ‘the door leading to birth, or re-birth.’
སྒོ་གསུམ་ see གསུང་.
སྒྲིམ་པ་ see གོལ་ས་.
བརྒྱན་པ་ see རྒྱན་པ་.
ངེས་པར་ (དུ་) see ཅིས་ཀྱང་ and ངེས་སོ་.
ངེས་སོ་, 16. With terminative: ‘there is certainty for’ = ‘it is certain’
= ‘I am sure of’, ‘I know for certain that’, ‘it is surely, truly so.’
A has ངས་ for ངེས་ in B.
Here, however, ངེས་སོ་ = ངེས་པར་ = ངེས་པར་དུ་ = ངོ་ཐོག་ = ངོན་ནས་ = ‘indeed,
truly, really, forsooth.’ Compare also ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
ངོ་ཆོད་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
ངོ་རྟོག་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
ངོ་ཐོག་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་ and ངེས་སོ་.
ངོ་མ་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
ངོ་མོ་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
ངོ་ཚ་ see ཁྲེལ་བ་.
དངོས་ནས་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
མངོན་པར་རྟོགས་པ་ see སྤྲོས་བྲལ་.
ཅི་མྱུར་ see མྱུར་.
ཅིས་ཀྱང་, 48. (Also ཅིས་ནས་ཀྱང་). Here rather with the meaning ‘without
fail, for sure, indeed, surely’ in addition to J.’s ‘anyhow, by all
means.’ It is said to be synonymous with ངེས་པར་དུ་ and colloquial ངོ་ཐོག་,
as, for instance, in: ངོ་ཐོག་ཕེབ་རོགས་གནང་, ‘I ask (you) to come without
fail, indeed, surely, for sure, so that I may count on it.’ Also རྟེན་
ལྡན་. Cf. Desg. in addition to J.—J. (p. 129b) has the spelling ངོ་རྟོག་.
Bell s.v. ‘certainly’ ངོ་ཐོག་ (syn. རྟེན་ལྡན་); s.v. ‘indeed’ (syn. རྟེན་རྟེན་);
s.v. ‘surely’ ངེས་པར་; s.v. ‘actual’ ངོ་ཐོག་; s.v. ‘real’ ངོ་ཐོག་ (syn. དངོས་
ནས་); s.v. ‘really’ ངེས་པར་. Desg. ངོ་ཐོག་ཡིན་ ‘natural, not manufactured,’
but ངོ་ཐོག་ (next article) ‘certitude’ = ངོ་མ་, ངོ་མོ་ or ངོ་ཆོད་. S. Ch. D.
ངོ་ཐོག་ ‘true, genuine, really.’ རྟེན་ལྡན་ and རྟེན་རྟེན་ are not in the Dicts.
ངོ་མོ་ and ངོ་ཆོད་ are not endorsed by my authorities. See also ངེས་སོ་.
