notes.3.76

76. This is the lone appearance of the term “monk crier” (Tib. sgrogs par byed pa’i dge slong; udghoṣako bhikṣuḥ) in the Tibetan canon. A related term in Pali, anussāvaka bhikkhu, refers to the monk who announces the saṅgha’s acts, which would refer to the “monk who directs the lifting of restrictions” in this text.
