68. While not elaborated here, this may reference a set of eight rdo rje’i tshig (vajrapadas), or “adamantine statements,” as enumerated in The Absorption That Encapsulates All Merit (Sarvapuṇya­samuccaya­samādhi­sūtra, Toh 134), . In that sūtra, eight vajrapadas are delivered by the Thus-Gone Vimalakīrtirāja to the sage Uttara—a previous incarnation of Śākyamuni—along with several other enumerations of Dharma topics and the eponymous absorption itself. See also Harrison 2003, p. 128.
