  2. Different versions of the mantra are given in different editions of the text. Some version omit the syllable pala (Wyl. pha la), although this appears to be a mistake as the syllable does appear in the commentary. In addition, the commentary mentions the syllable hung only once, when it appears at the end of the mantra.
