244 Gser-ḥgyur-rći is the Tibetan equivalent of rasa as a substance that changes other substances into gold (gser) (see Lokesh Chandra, 1976; Sarat Chandra Das, 1970. A literal translation of the title would be suvarṇa-parivartana-rasa (see V. Bhattacharya, 1932: 123). M.L. Walter (1980: 66) regards gser-ḥgyur-rći as a random translation. The term dhātuvāda itself has no calque in Tibetan.
