'dul ba'i dbang gis

[translation-eng] {Hopkins} through the force of taming

[comments] Comment: Jik-may-dam-chö-gya-tso reports that D#ra-d#i Ge-s#hay Rin-chen-dön-drup (pra sti dge bshes rin chen don grub) interprets ""through the force of taming"" as ""through the force of taming trainees having the lineage of the Middle Way School by means of the literal reading"" (gdul bya dbu ma pa'i rigs can sgras zin des 'dul ba'i dbang gis). However, Jik-may-dam-chö-gya-tso points out that D#zong-ka-b#a himself in the section on the Consequence School of the Essence of Eloquence glosses ""through the force of taming"" with ""through the force of trainees' thought"" (gdul bya'i bsam pa'i dbang gis). It seems to me that both interpretations are suitable.
