Notes

  1. Unlike Ascertaining the Discipline, Śāntideva’s Compendium of Training has been preserved in Sanskrit, eg. as inputted by Mirek Rozehnal and published on GRETIL.
  2. The Sanskrit version of the Śikṣāsamuccaya adds a homage to Nirmala before Vimala. Both of these buddhas’ names could be rendered into Tibetan as Drima Mepa (Wyl. dri ma med pa).
  3. The Sanskrit is variously interpreted as "resting upon water," “the path of human beings,” and “the son of man.” The Tibetan interpretation, which we are following here is “the son of Nāra,” with Nāra translated as “one without craving.”
  4. The Sanskrit version of the Śikṣāsamuccaya omits a homage to this buddha.
  5. The Tibetan appears to translate the Sanskrit name Vijitrasaṃgrāma. Alternatively, the Tibetan could also be a translation of the Sanskrit name Yuddhajaya. The Śikṣāsamuccaya reads Vicitrasaṃkrama (Eng. Perfect Transference).
