100. According to S, Z rngan chan byed pa (archaic for brnyas thabs “to despise; treat contemptuously”; cf. BGT, s.v.). Vv.ll. D, L dngan can byed pa (Old Tibetan orthography for ngan (see Rnam rgyal tshe ring 2001, s.v. dngan can); J, N, C, H mngon can. The passage seems corrupt: Karmavibhaṅga (Toh 338, , (F.278.b)) reads A, D phyas ’dogs pa [vv.ll. J phyas ’drogs; K phyes ’dogs], which is obscure. The Karmavibhaṅga (Toh 338) of the London manuscript Kangyur has dbang za ba, which has the sense of feeling entitled to despise, belittle, or humiliate, and to manipulate or exploit others (cf. BGT, s.v.). The Mh-karmav is clear: Sanskrit avahasanam (Lévi 1932, 38) means “ridiculing someone.”
