c72.s1.33

¹⁴ Here in VX and CX we have *ze pa.pa.la* or *zes.pas* (?) before *thams*, but as the metre shows, it is not required, nor does it give any sense. It seems to have been added here from a marginal note *rdo rje.* means *vajra* 'diamond' (or *śūnyatā*), or 'thunderbolt'. *sku.ru* means 'water-wheel', but it has no connection here *thams cad.rdo.rje. skur 'gyur* will, however, be in Sanskrit *sarve vajrakāyā bhavanti.*
