159. Following N: tsan dan bzhag pa lta bu (as if sandalwood had been applied) instead of D: tsan dan dang ste’ur mnyam pa lta bu (for whom sandalwood is equal to an axe / medical needle) (Pedurma, 747). This reading is supported by Kalyāṇamitra’s commentary (Kalyāṇamitra folio 283.a.2) and a similar passage later in the text that reads: tsan dan zhag lon par bzhag pa lta bur (Degé, folio 77.b.7). The commentary explains the analogy: “Just as sandalwood cools when rubbed on and left overnight, his disturbing emotions have cooled, and hence it is as if sandalwood had been applied” (Kalyāṇamitra, folio 283.a.2).
