138. The structure of this sentence seems to be parallel to D 302a,1: mkhan po dang bla ma thar par zhugs pa rnams la gzhan la yang, where thar par zhugs pa rnams is replaced (abbreviated?) by ltag ma (or lhag ma). D, Y, H mkhan po dang bla ma ltag ma [A, p. 875, line 5: lhag ma!] dang gzhan rnams la, which may mean “the head teacher and all others (i.e., all those who are thar par zhugs pa following in the order of their rank / seniority).” S mkhan po dang| bla ma dang| ltag ma dang gzhan rnams la. The v.l. of L, Z mkhan po dang| bla ma dang| lhag ma dang| gzhan rnams la (if one understands lhag ma to mean “rest.” But lhag ma can have a meaning similar to ltag ma), although “the monastic preceptor, the teacher, the rest, and all others,” seems to make less sense. For D bla ma [bla] ltag/lhag ma, cf. also Negi, 3910: bla lhag pa (Skt. adhikaḥ; upacayaḥ; ādhikyaṃ).
