Is the title of a text called དངོས་གྲུབ་གཏེར་འབྱུང་ better translated as "The Treasure Source of Siddhi," "The Treasure That Gives Rise to Siddhi," or a third alternative that i haven't thought of yet?
Any help appreciated ASAP!

"The Sutras, Tantras, and Philosophical Scriptures are great in number. However life is short, and intelligence is limited, so it's hard to cover them completely. You may know a lot, but if you don't put it into practice, it's like dying of thirst on the shore of a great lake. Likewise, a common corpse is found in the bed of a great scholar." ~ Karma Chagme

Well, it looks like gter 'byung means a history of the revelation of a terma or termas, similar to how "chos 'byung" can mean a history of the Dharma. Perhaps that helps?

In this case gter 'byung is definitely part of the proper title of the text, as it's a lineage prayer (bla rgyud gsol 'debs), and doesn't have anything to do with a terma cycle. It's related to one of the mandalas that Marpa transmitted to Ngok.
