ཟབ་, 10, 55. ཟབ་ = ཟབ་པ་. J. vb., adj., subst. and adv. ‘to be deep,
deep, deeply, depth’; adj. ཟབ་པོ་ and མོ་. Desg. ཟབ་པོ་ and མོ་ adj. only.
S. Ch. D. ཟབ་པ་ vb. ‘to make deep, to deepen,’ also adj. and sbst.;
further in པོ་ and མོ་ only adj. Note the additional meaning ‘dense’
(also ཟབས་ ‘thickness’) in S. Ch. D., not in the two others. My
teachers deny that ཟབ་པ་ can be a verb ‘to deepen,’ or ‘to make deep.’
ཟབ་ must also be understood as ‘profound’ (wisdom, teaching, etc.). See
ཆོས་ཟབ་, also དབྱངས་, also ཐུགས་ནི་, etc.
ཟབ་ཡངས་ see ཐུགས་ནི་, etc.
གཟུ་བོ་ see བློ་གཟུ་བོ་.
གཟུ་དཔང་ see བློ་གཟུ་བོ་.
གཟུ་བོར་གནས་པ་ see བློ་གཟུ་བོ་.
འུ་ཐུག་ see སྡུག་ཡུས་.
ཡང་རྩེ་ see དྭངས་མར་.
ཡངས་, 55. = ཡངས་པ་ or པོ་, ‘wide, large.’ Desg. also ‘ample, abundant.’
S. Ch. D. only ཡངས་པ་. Note J. ‘*mig-yaṅ*’, C., W. liberal, generous,
bounteous,’ but Desg. མིག་ཡངས་པ་ ‘wide-eyes: envious, covetous, greedy.’
In S. Ch. D. ཡངས་པའི་མིག་ = विशालाक्षी, ‘large-eyes, a handsome woman, name of
a Goddess.’ Cf. also in the same dict. མིག་བཟང་མ་, ‘beautiful-eyes, a
very handsome woman, a nymph’s name.’ As to J.’s mig-yaṅ, one of my
teachers holds with him as against Desg., the other does not know the
expression.
ཡངས་པའི་མིག་ see ཡངས་.
ཡན་ལག་ see དབྱངས་.
ཡབ་སྲས་ (གསུམ༌), 8, 15, 16, 18. ‘Father (and) sons,’ or, as Csoma already
has it in his Grammar, p. 28, ‘teacher and pupils.’ With the addition
གསུམ་ ‘three,’ and also as here without this addition, a very well known
appellation of Tsoṅ kʽa pa and his two pupils (his spiritual sons). It
is likely that to the Tibetan mind the expression means something like
‘spiritual family (of three),’ namely of one father and two sons. See
introductory remarks. Free renderings like ‘spiritual trio’ or ‘teacher
triad’ and the like are apt enough for practical purposes. Cf. an
expression like the following: ཁྱོད་ཕ་བུ་གཉིས་ག་ནས་ཡིན་, ‘where have you
two, father and son, come from?’ (But the sentence has also the second
meaning ‘where do you live? where is your home?’).
In the light of the above, has the note on p. 98 of the J.A.S.B., Vol.
II, N.S., no. 4, 1906, in Satis Chandra Vidyābhūṣana’s article on ‘the
Gyantse rock inscription’ to be rectified? My informants do not think
that the expression is used among the Sakyapas in the sense given in
that note.
ཡིན་ན་ཡང་ see ཀྱང་.
ཡུས་ see སྡུག་ཡུས་.
གཡུལ་ see འགྱེ་བ་.
གཡུལ་འགྱེད་ see འགྱེ་བ་.
རང་ see དྭངས་མར་.
རང་བསྟན་ (པ་) འཛིན་པ་, 26. This expression must here not be understood as
‘to follow one’s own teaching.’ རང་བསྟན་ is here not one compound word.
The meaning is: they who themselves follow the teaching, as against the
གཞན་བསྟན་པ་འཛིན་པ་, the others who (also) follow the teaching. See གཞན་
བསྟན་ (པ་) འཛིན་པ་, 27.
རི་ཁྲོད་ see འབྲོག་ and གངས་རིའི་ཁྲོད་འདི་ན་.
རི་འབྲོག་ see འབྲོག་ and གངས་རིའི་ཁྲོད་འདི་ན་.
རིག་པ་ see མཁྱེན་བརྩེ་.
རིག་པ་བསྒྲིམས་ནས་ see གོལ་ས་.
རིང་བུ་ see དབྱངས་.
རུས་ཐང་ see དྭངས་མར་.
རེ་ see དོན་རེ་ཆུང་.
རེ་བ་མེད་ see སྤྲོས་བྲལ་.
