11. This translation emends the reading in this line to re re la yang bzlas brjod lan brgya rtsa brgyad bya. This emended reading is supported by the parallel passage in Toh 661 and Toh 998. The frequency with which the number one hundred and eight is used to incant ritual objects with mantras across the kriyātantra and dhāraṇī literature supports the conclusion that the second occurrence of rtsa brgyad is redundant. Toh 660 and Toh 997 read re re la yang bzlas brjod lan brgya rtsa brgyad rtsa brgyad bya.
