127. The Sanskrit here has vṛttāṅgulayaś ca (Samtani 1971, p. 63), “round fingers,” while the Tibetan has sen mo rnams zlum pa, “round nails.” Samtani (1971, p. 63, n. 5) speculates that the Tibetan may contain a mistake in the transmission wherein sor mo was accidentally substituted with sen mo in this item. This is very plausible. It is worth noting, though, that Samtani (1971, p. 63, n. 5) also reports that F and ANe have vṛttāṅgulinakhāś ca, “round fingernails.” (Also, the Tibetan version consulted by Samtani, as he reports it, contains one further mistake for sor mo, while the Degé Parphud (par phud) printing is fine.) Stok has indeed sor mo, thus supporting our preference and, first of all, Samtani’s insightful proposal. The relevant entry in the Mahāvyutpatti has vṛttāṅguliḥ/sor mo rnams zlum pa.
