89. Where the Tibetan reads “in order to tame a great being” (sems can chen po gdul ba’i phyir), the Sanskrit has “destroyer of the great trichiliocosm” (mahāsahasrapramardanam), which corresponds closely to the title of one of the Pañcarakṣā texts, The Sūtra “Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm” (Toh 558, Mahāsāhasrapramardanīnāma­sūtra). This is perhaps meant to indicate which oblation rite is to be performed. See Dharmachakra Translation Committee, trans., Destroyer of the Great Trichiliocosm , Toh 558 (84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha, 2016).
