6. blon po zla ba bzang po. According to Negi’s Tibetan-Sanskrit Dictionary, zla ba bzang po is elsewhere attested as a translation for Sucandra as the name of a king and a householder. Skilling also uses Sucandra, but makes note of the fact that a minister under Bimbisāra’s son Ajātaśatru may have been called Candraprabha, so the name could also be a rendering of that. For further discussion, see Skilling 2021, p. 571, n. 920.
