21. Read with He: kye ma bde ba gzigs pa’i/ /sangs rgyas rnams ni ’byung ba rmad. The Sanskrit fragment 8 reads madarśi(nāṃ). Wille’s speculation that the akṣara ma is possibly from kṣema = bde ba (Mahāvyutpatti entry 6415) finds support not only in He but also in Go, in the corresponding sūtra in Taishō 100, and in the quotation from the The Sūtra of the Moon in the commentary on the Great Upholder of the Secret Mantra in D. See Wille 2008, p. 349, n. 67. D: kye ma bden pa gzigs pa yi/ /sangs rgyas rnams ni ’byung ba rmad (“Oh wonder! Amazing is the emergence of buddhas, who see the truth!”).
