ལྟ་བ་ 51. This word seems here to mean ‘vision, illumination, (direct
mystical) contemplation, the seeing face to face.’ In our passage it is
the direct vision (the ‘vision direct’), proper to, inherent in,
characteristic of, belonging to, the knowledge pertaining to the
actionless (or undifferentiated) state, the
‘passive-state-knowledge-vision.’ See also སྤྲོས་བྲལ་.

ཐུགས་ནི་ཟབ་ཡངས་མཁྱེན་བརྩེའི་གཏེར་, 55. This is here, in my opinion, not a sort
of Hottentottenpotentatentantenattentater-like formation. I take the
ཟབ་ཡངས་ to refer to the ཐུགས་, a profound and wide mind, whilst the མཁྱེན་
བརྩེ་ only refers to the གཏེར་, the treasury of omniscient mercy. It is
not likely that the qualities of width and depth form part of an
enumeration of which the remaining items are love and knowledge or even
(as a compound) omniscient-mercy. See the various component words in
this glossary.

དག་སྣང་, 43. J.’s entry under this entry is as follows: “དག་ (པའི༌) སྣང་
(བ་) Schr. ‘good opinion’ (?), prob.: a pure, sound view or knowledge
Glr.; in Mil. it has a similar meaning.” He adds an oral sentence:
“*dhag-náṅ jón-wa* C. to lead a holy life.” (sic. jón = jóṅ?) Schroeter
has (135b): “དག་སྣང་, a good opinion, a good conception of any thing, a
conceit, a thought.” [Based on an Italian ‘concetto’?] He has two
further entries ‘དག་པའི་སྣང་བ་, to form a good opinion of any
individual,’ and ‘དག་སྣང་སྤྱོང་ (read: སྦྱོང་) བ་, to form a good opinion, or
to conceive well of any one.’
