21. As Kalyāṇamitra explains in his comments on The Chapter on the Restoration Rite, the “earlier rains” begin on the fifteenth of Āṣāḍha (Tib. dbyar zla ’bring po; P. āsāḷha; Ch. 五月), generally falling in June or July. The “later rains” begin on the fifteenth of Śrāvaṇa (Tib. dbyar zla tha chung; P. sāvaṇa). Kalyāṇamitra (F.316.a): gso sbyong bco lnga pa de nyid la zhes bya ba ni dbyar snga ma nye bar bsgrub pa dbyar zla ’bring po tshes bco lnga la’o/ /dbyar phyi ma zhes bya ba ni dbyar zla tha chungs tshes bcu drug go.
