English	Having seen that throughout the Ketaka Jewel, the commentary on the “Wisdom Chapter” of the Bodhicaryāvatāra composed by Mipham Namgyal, there were many grievous mistakes that contradicted scripture and correct reasoning, and having been of late repeatedly requested by many[p.318]The Wisdom Chapter Fletcher, Wulstan, and Helena Blankleder (Padmakara Translation Group), trans.

Boulder, CO: Shambhala Publications, 2017. exponents of scripture and reasoning who had an interest in the profound path, and who told me that it was necessary to produce some kind of refutation, I, Lozang Pelden Tendzin Nyendrak, from the snowy mountains of Dokham, who bear the name of “Drakar Tulku,” who persevere in the vows and have lived long under the kindness of many tutors learned and accomplished, composed this Pleasurable Discourse for Those of Clear Understanding, a brief exposition of the crucial points of the profound Madhyamaka. I wrote it in my twenty-third year, while living in glorious Drepung, the great seat of Dharma in the central province. May virtue and excellence increase!

Go to the page with the definition of 'Bodhicaryāvatāra'

Anumāna - Inference (Skt. anumāna; T. rjes dpag) is a way of knowing something indirectly, using logic and reasoning rather than direct experience. For example, if you see smoke rising from a distant mountain, you can infer that there is a fire there, even if you can't see the fire directly yourself. It's a key way to understand things that are hidden from our senses. It is used in the Buddhist tradition to gain insight into deeper levels of reality of self and phenomena.

Bodhisattva - A person who seeks enlightenment for the sake of others. In Mahāyāna Buddhism, a bodhisattva is a compassionate being who is training on the path to buddhahood and aspires to eliminate the suffering of all beings and take all sentient beings to the state of enlightenment. The Mahāyāna sūtras including those on buddha-nature generally have bodhisattvas as the main audience or interlocutors for the Buddha's discourses. Skt बोधिसत्त्व  Tib བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ།  Ch 菩薩

Madhyamaka - Along with Yogācāra, it is one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Nāgārjuna around the second century CE, it is rooted in the Prajñāpāramitā Sūtras, though its initial exposition was presented in Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā.

Puṇya - The positive energy or potential created through performing good deeds, such as generosity or kindness. In Buddhism, accumulating this positive force is seen as essential for finding happiness in future lives, and crucial as a foundation for following the spiritual path.
