37. The Dunhuang manuscript reads a bit differently here: “It should not be said that those with self-conceit, who declare that an objective basis exists, dwell in the practice of the holy life in the right way” (mngon ba’i nga rgyal can dmyigs pa yod par ston pas na | yang dag par tshangs par spyod pa la gnas pa zhes myi bya ste). This may help to make more sense of the terse phrase in the canonical translation, gnas dmigs nas, rendered in the main translation as “while thinking that their abiding by it has an objective basis.”
