Most of the people were saying that the Buddhists had the victory, with a doctrine that was great and wondrous. And with that, they began to disperse, giving their word that they would all practice it. The religious king, however, decreed that the Tibetan translators and the Bonpos should prepare themselves for debate. The great translator Vairotsana measured himself against Thangnak, while Namkhai Nyingpo contended with Tongyu. And likewise each of the translators debated with one of the , even though not a single one of their opponents could rival them. The king had decided that established truths should be recorded by white pebbles, while falsity should be marked by black. Vairotsana took nine hundred white pebbles for the truth, while to Thangnak fell five thousand pebbles of falsity. With shouts of joy, the translators raised their banner. Namkhai Nyingpo of the clan of Nub gained three thousand white pebbles and Tongyu thirty thousand black, and again the translators held aloft their standard. Tsogyal vied with Yudrung Bonmo Tso of the Chokro clan and worsted her in the Lady of the Lotus-born: The Life and Enlightenment of Yeshe Tsogyal. As will be told, she performed wonders that left Bonmo Lady of the Lotus-born: The Life and Enlightenment of Yeshe Tsogyal speechless.
