90. According to the Skt. The Tib. is unclear (gzhal lugs [L glugs] g.yo dang sgyu [L sgyur] byed mi). The Skt. words tūṭaka and vaṭika in pāda d are problematic. Vaṭika seems to be just a variant spelling for vātika, for which see MW: “m. a man of mere words, noisy talker, flatterer; m. a juggler or conjurer.” The word tūṭaka seems to be a misspelling of the Skt. kūṭaka, for which the PED gives the following meanings: “a trap, a snare; fig. falsehood, deceit,” etc., and MW: “mfn. false, untrue, deceitful […]; n. counterfeited objects (of a merchant).” The Skt. in pāda c reads na datto bhairavaṃ nādaṃ, which makes sense in this context. The Tib. translation does not seem to have picked up the negation (Skt. na) and reads, “And who use their voice to terrify others” (’jigs su rung ba’i sgra ’byin cing).
