According to the Tib. The (Buddhist Hybrid) Skt. version of this verse is a pun on the Sanskrit word kali that is lost in the Tibetan translation. The Tibetan translators chose to render kali as sdig pa, literally, “sin.” The word kali is employed here twice in its two senses: “the losing throw at dice,” and “calamity” or “evil” (see Norman 2001, 292, note to Sn verse 659). The Skt. (in Matsumura’s restored version of the verse) means, “A small measure indeed is that unlucky throw of the dice, through which one loses one’s own wealth. That is a greater calamity, which consists in getting angry toward the Sugata (alpamāttro hy ayaṃ kalir / ya ihāksaiḥ svadhanaṃ parājayet / ayam attra mahattaraḥ kalir / yaḥ sugateṣu manaḥ pradūṣyet // 44 // See Matsumura 1986, 84). - [Previous: notes.117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.117) - [Next: notes.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.119) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.118) · Pramāṇa
