24. Tib. bsil ba’i dngos po thob par gyur cig lit. “May they attain the cool state.” The English translation here adopts an idiomatic, rather than literal, translation of bsil ba’i dngos po (Skt. *śītībhāva) over a literal translation. This phrase appears to refer to both the physical “cooling” of individuals caught up in the fires that consume the world at the end of an eon and the psychological or mental “cooling” of the fires of mental anguish and suffering brought on by one’s previous karmic deeds.
