131. Here the Sanskrit has avakra­gātrāś ca (“bodies that are not crooked”), but we wonder whether something might have gone wrong in the transmission: the Tibetan mi g.yo bar gshegs pa (that Samtani thought was in place of the previous item) would correspond to avakra­gāminaś ca (see Negi vol. 10, p. 4380, reporting the relevant Mahāvyutpatti entry), which seems likely to us. However, we find attestations for both avakragāmitā (Abhi­samayālaṁkāra­śāstra­vṛtti, Amano 1975, p. 286; Abhi­samayālaṁkārālokā, Wogihara 1932–73, p. 921, lines 4–5; Dharmasaṁgraha, Müller and Wenzel 1995, p. 19) and avakragātratā (Sāratamā, Jaini 1979, p. 182).
