go khrab/གོ་ཁྲབ in Sanskrit

Post by Chenda »

I have been trying to get a Sanskrit rendering of "Dorje Gotrab", and the closest I was about to get is "Vajrasaṃnāha". "Dorje" being "vajra", which is straightforward, but "saṃnāha" I used because it is the only Sanskrit word I can find with a Tibetan translation meaning armor, "go cha", a synonym of "go khrab".

I'm neither a Tibetan nor a Sanskrit scholar, so I would really appreciate if anyone can help satisfy this curiosity of mine. Thanks.
With the wisdom of threefold purity, dedicate all the virtue gained from having made such effort toward enlightenment. Dedicate it to clear away the suffering of infinite beings. This is the way of a Bodhisattva.

In the Tibetan translation of the Amarakośa, go khrab translates the Sanskrit kañcuka.
