4. rkyen gyi rgyal ba, a term that from the context is very likely a synonym of pratyeka­buddha (rang sangs rgyas). The term is found only in one other canonical text, the Sūrya­garbha­mahā­vaipulya­sūtra (Toh 257). The Sanskrit equivalent would be pratyaya­jina, which is rare or unknown, but pratyaya­buddha is well attested. Norman (1997, p. 87) has argued that pratyaya­buddha, or pacceya­buddha in Pali, may have been the original, more correct form of pratyeka­buddha.
