The poison of exhaling. One element in an idiosyncratic and non-standard list of the “Five Poisons” (dug lnga) presented in the context of a Lion-faced Ḍākinī evocation. The other four are: mthong ba'i dug, the poison of seeing; reg pa'i dug, the poison of touch; tshor ba'i dug, the poison of feeling; bsam pa'i dug, the poison of expectation. This may relate to mythology about dragons, or contagions passed through the breath.
