17. The translation of this sentence is tentative: gnas gtsang ma’i ris kyi lha’i bu dag gcig gis bdag cag nyid rgas shing ’khogs pa dang / nad kyis btab pa dang / shi ba yang bstan [Stok: bsten] te dge sbyong zhig kyang der bzhag pa. Possibly there are several gods creating the display, as Feer (1883, p. 308) and Matsumura (2011a, p. 102) have translated the passage. The role of bdag cag nyid (“we ourselves,” or possibly “singly” if translating the Sanskrit pratyātma) is unclear. It has been rendered here as “like us.”
