Note

Commenting on a passage from Padmasambhava's Man ngag lta ba'i phreng ba {116076}, Rong zom suggests two ways of interpreting pāramitā that derive from two ways of rendering the Sanskrit, the first incorrect (but evidently mentioned because of phonetic similarities) and the second correct. The first interprets pāramitā as parama + ita (parama < root pri) which translates as "coming to the highest (or supreme) reality" (or recovering authenticity). The second interprets pāramitā as pāra +m ita (pāra < root pri , bringing across, or as noun meaning further bank or shore, opposite side, end or limit of anything) which translates as "arriving on (or crossing over to) the other side (shore)"(or transcendence"). The second interpretation is the correct sense of the term and is clearly the one that the Tibetan term is based on. See Thar rgyan {116371}.

Note

Yon tan rgya mtsho (following Rnam mkhyen shing rta {115786}) indicates how the ten pāramitās unfold on the rig 'dzin level. The first part of this passage is under the term gsang sngags kyi theg pa, a passage that discusses the superiority of gsang sngags kyi theg pa (an entry from Yon tan rin po che mdzod kyi 'grel pa nyi zla'i sgron me {116381:v3:100.2}).

On the topic of mtha' grol in Rdzogs chen (see under the term grol ba, the passages that discuss the five modes of grol ba), 'Jigs med gling pa interprets the transfigured sense of pha rol tu phyin pa.
