35. While the Tibetan rendering in the versions in all Kangyurs is lag brda’i sgra byas (Degé, F.222.a.2), suggesting that a sound is made with the snap of the fingers or a clapping of the hands, the translation follows Kalyāṇamitra, who gives lag brdas and glosses it with lag pa’i mtshan ma brtan pa (Kalyāṇamitra, F.324.b.5–6). Note that Yijing’s translation reads “to summon with the hands,” 以手喚 (Taishō 1446, 1044c19).
