[$There will be some: The Tibetan of this quotation from the Derge edition of
the Tengyur differs in several significant ways from the version found in
this text. Since the Tengyur version makes more sense, we have made the
following revisions of the Tibetan here: DGONGS PA MI SHES PAS for the
original, BSTAN PA'I DGONGS PAS; DON CAN GYI for DON CAN GYIS;
DGONGS PA CAN NI for DGONGS PA CAN GYI. And in the following
continuation of the quotation, BLO ZHAN PA for BLO GZHAN PA; and
DRANG BA’I DON GYI for DRANG BA’I DON GYIS. These readings are
found in the original of Clear Words, TD3860, f. 13b]

misunderstand them completely. The Master, in order to correct these ideas both through logic and scriptural
authority, has undertaken to compose the classical commentary on the middle way.
