Occasionally the Tibetan translation contains unexpected and unusual terms when compared to the Mahāvyutpatti, the famous Sanskrit–Tibetan lexicon used to help standardize translations in the massive state-sponsored translation program of the early translation period in Tibet. For example, Skt. verse 40 (cf. ) has in Tib. dge slong (“\[fully ordained\] monk”) instead of the expected dge sbyong for the Sanskrit śramaṇa. However, Skt. verse 48 (cf. ) pādas ab, which is identical to the passage in verse 40, does have the expected translation equivalent dge sbyong. To give another, perhaps more substantial, example, the Sanskrit text lists the Insentient Beings and the devas of the Unlofty Heaven with different lifespans, five hundred and one thousand eons respectively, while the Tibetan translation lists these two classes of devas together as having the same lifespan, namely, one thousand eons. See Matsumura 1989, 86 (Sanskrit) and 99 (Tibetan), paragraphs 57 and 58. - [Previous: notes.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.18) - [Next: notes.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.20) - [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.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.ayuhparyantasutra*bo~en-84000.notes.19) · Pramāṇa
