28. Following Yongle, Peking, Narthang, and Stok tsam pa’i tshogs ltar ser. The Calcutta manuscript of the Sanskrit contains the corresponding phrase śāstā hemacampakaśairo [reading-śailo] (“[My] teacher is [like] a mountain of golden campaka flowers”). Degé reads btso ma’i tshogs ltar ser, perhaps “golden like a mass of refined substance.” This could be a reflection of the following compound in the Calcutta manuscript, nirdhāntahemapratimaḥ (“like refined gold”), which is followed by kanakāvadātaḥ (“dazzling white like gold”). Iwamoto 1968, p. 46; see also Kudo 2016, p. 334, n. 48.
