To p. 65. The dictionaries spelt པོ་ཏ་ལ་ but the dge rgan says that པོ་ཏཱ་
ལ་ also occurs. Desg. has an alternative spelling པོ་ཌ་ལ་, but this
seems a misprint for པོ་ཊ་ལ་. In Tibetan books I have only seen ཏ་ but
the dge rgan is sure that the two spellings, ཊ་ and ཏཱ་ (but not ཊཱ་),
occur as well.
To the text. When the larger part of this booklet was in print I
acquired an additional copy of the text, which proved to be different
from the two editions used by me. It is of the same size and style as
edition A, but printed from other blocks. We call it C. The copy is a
poor one, badly printed from worn-out blocks. A collation brought no
news of importance. The reading ངེས་སོ་ in l. 16, however, is confirmed
by this edition. Its only new reading is འཆིང་བར་ for འཆང་བར་ in l. 46.
This reading does not seem so satisfactory as the one we have followed.
The full result of the collation is given below. Indistinct readings
are marked with a note of interrogation.

The variants of ll. 30, 41, 50 and 51 are evidently due to
deterioration of the blocks. There is no ༈ in this edition.
