1. Dan Martin Dictionary
phyag nas bzhugs (preceded by the name of a person ending in genitive case) is an abbreviated way of writing (noticed in dkar chag's like the Rwa sgreng Dkar chag), meaning that the image or thangka contains the hand-barley of the named person. Acc. to Khenrap in TJ 25 no. 4 (2000) 39, it means hand-held sacred barley. This phrase also occurs in an inscription on the back of a wooden statue of Karma-pa I, which says it contains the hand-barley of Karma-pa VIII (statue in possession of Michael Henns).
