122. Samtani suggests that ’thun par/mthun par should be translating anukūla rather than pradakṣiṇa (Samtani 1971, p. 61, n. 2). However, ’thun par/mthun par is attested as a translation of pradakṣiṇa (see Negi vol. 5, pp. 2116–17; see also De Jong 1975, p. 117). We have used “courteous dexterity” so as to reflect, at least in part, the etymological rationale for this explanation (where the pradakṣiṇa = “turning to the right” is caused by pradakṣiṇa = “courteous dexterity”). This rationale is unfortunately lost in Tibetan translation.
