to Tib. on Mvy 1015 (bar ma dor, for antarā) attaining
nirvāṇa in the intermediate state (between death and re-
birth; i.e. before the soul can be reborn in a new existence);
Dharmas 103; Mv i.33.6. Acc. to CPD, rather entering
nirvāṇa before the term, i.e. before having passed the first
half of life (in the middle of life). This seems to be the
orthodox Pali interpretation, but the Tib. interpretation
was also known (cf. CPD s.v. antarābhava); it is refuted
in Kathāvatthu viii.2 (Transl. pp. 212--3).
