114. I.e., with a flat end. See the first illustration and legend from the right of F.3.b (BDRC W1EE45) of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama’s illustrations above. The extant Sanskrit is partial, reading: + + chedyā kartavyā; i.e., “A [rod] shaped like a + + should be used.” The Tib. bre of bre’i bcad ’phro lta bur bya’o suggests the Skt. droṇa, which means both “bucket” and “a weight of measure.” Kalyāṇamitra (F.310.a) gives “ ‘shaped like a bucket,’ flat like the bottom of a weighing pan, or bucket” (bre’i bcad ’phro lta bu zhes bya ba ni bre zhes bya ba gzhal snod kyi rnam pa de’i zhabs ltar mnyam pa’o).
