20. Degé phyi bzhin ’brang ba’i dge sbyong lha’i dbang po brgya byin dang thabs cig tu. Yongle and Kangxi add dang here, such that there is a śramaṇa attendant in addition to Śakra. It is not clear where this attendant would have come from, so we have read Degé as referring only to Śakra. Matsumura (2011a, p. 109) and Feer (1883, p. 310) agree. Feer further assumed that Śakra appears in the form of a śramaṇa (“qui le suivait [sous la forme d’]un ascète”).
