10. Both versions of the Degé read gang gA tas bskor ba’i rdzing bu’i ’gram na; the Stok Palace Kangyur reads gang ga tas bskor ba’i rdzing bu’i ’gram na. We are indebted to Alexander O’Neil for providing us with the correct identity of this location. The Tibetan is likely a problematic Tibetan transliteration of the term gaggarāpokkharaṇī, or “the Gaggarā lotus pond.” As O’Neil informed the editorial team, the Chinese translation of this text transliterates this term as 伽伽靈池 or “gagara,” and thus offers a helpful correction to the Tibetan transliteration. For more on this location see the entries on Gaggarā and Campā in Malalasekara’s Dictionary of Pāli Proper Names.
