ཉོན་མོངས་, 37. Here ‘sin’ or ‘vice’ are to be understood as either the
three sins, or vices, or failings, or defects, or frailties, ཉོན་མོངས་
གསུམ, ‘lust, anger and stupidity’ (in the conventional rendering), འདོད་
ཆགས་, ཞེ་སྡང་, གཏི་མུག་, or the five sins, ཉོན་མོངས་ལྔ་, namely the three
mentioned above with the addition of ང་རྒྱལ་ ‘pride’ and ཕྲག་དོག་ ‘envy’ as
fourth and fifth.
See also དགྲ་ཉོན་མོངས་.
མཉེན་ see བཤེས་གཉེན་.
སྙིང་པོ་ see བྱང་ཆུབ་སྙིང་པོ་.
སྙིང་རུས་བྱེད་པ་ see བརྩོན་པར་བགྱིད་པ་.
སྙོམས་ལས་འཛིན་པ་, 13. Equals སྙོམས་ལས་བྱེད་ (or དྲན་) པ་ = ‘to be ease-loving,
indolent, lazy.’
གཏིང་ནས་, 28. ‘From the bottom’ (sc. of the heart), hence expressions
like སྐྱོ་བ་གཏིང་ནས་སྐྱེས་ may be simply translated ‘a deep pity (or sadness)
arises, I become very sad, I am very sorry.’ See also སྐྱོ་བ་.
གཏེར་, 55. Here perhaps better ‘treasure heap’ than mere ‘treasure,’ or
perhaps even ‘treasury.’ S. Ch. D. gives as meanings: ‘treasure’ and
‘store-place,’ in this deviating from J. and Desg. S. Ch. D.’s example
ཆུ་གཏེར་, ‘the repository of water, the ocean’, seems to prove his
additional explanation.
རྟག་དཔྱད་ see རྟོག་དཔྱོད་.
རྟེན་རྟེན་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
རྟེན་ལྡན་ see ཅིས་ཀྱང་.
རྟེན་པ་, 49. (Pf. and ft. བརྟེན་). Has here simply the primary meaning ‘to
adhere to,’ more colloquially, ‘to stick to,’ or ‘to keep to, hold fast
to, to heed, to observe.’ May, however, here be also taken as Desg.’s
‘to believe in, to trust’ (in the sense of ‘to rely on’) according to
his example ཁྱེད་ཀྱི་གསུང་ལ་རྟེན་པས་, ‘I believe, trust (in) your words’ (p.
420a), or otherwise: to put reliance on (what another says, states,
preaches, teaches).
རྟོག་པ་, 32. (Pf. བརྟགས་). May almost be translated here as ‘to
contemplate, to consider’ (‘if one comes to think about it’ or ‘if one
looks into that matter’), but not merely as ‘to behold, to see.’
རྟོག་དཔྱོད་, 47. Evidently the same as J.’s. བརྟགས་དཔྱོད་ ‘examination, trial’
(214b). J. has a verb བརྟག་དཔྱོད་ (or རྟོག་གཞིག་) གཏོང་བ་, occurring in the
Padma tʽaṅ yig and in Milaraspa, with the meaning ‘to examine, search
into, see whether or whether not.’ J. has also the forms རྟོག་དཔྱོད་ and
བརྟག་དཔྱད་, both subst. ‘examination,’ s.v. དཔྱོད་པ་, ‘to examine,’ p.
329a.
Desg. gives རྟོག་དཔྱད་ as syn. with རྟོག་པ་, ‘to consider, test, judge’;
བརྟགས་དཔྱོད་, ‘examination, judgment.’
S. Ch. D. རྟོག་དཔྱོད་ (= བསམ་མནོ་, or མནོ་བསམ་) ‘consideration, examination,
trial,’ and (558a) བརྟག་དཔྱད་ (= ཞིབ་དཔྱད་), ‘examination, careful weighing
of all the details of a case, deliberation.’ S. Ch. D. seems to treat
རྟོག་དཔྱོད་ and བརྟག་དཔྱད་ as two quite different words. S.v. དཔྱོད་པ་ he has
further རྟོག་དཔྱོད་པ་, ‘to examine anything,’ and བརྟག་དཔྱད་, ‘investigation,
inquiry.’
རྟོགས་པ་ see སྤྲོས་བྲལ་.
