Transliteration: ma dag las snang
<phrase> "Impure karmic appearances". The karmically-produced appearances that occur in the minds of sentient beings because of མ་རིག་པ་ ignorance. The consciousness that has such appearances is a འཁྲུལ་ཤེས་ confused consciousness. These are impure appearances as opposed to དག་སྣང་ the pure appearances that occur to beings with ཡེ་ཤེས་ wisdom. When these impure appearances are stopped, pure appearances of wisdom arise. E.g., མ་དག་ལས་སྣང་འཁྲུལ་ཤེས་སྦྱངས། །སྣང་གྲག་རིག་སྟོང་དབྱེར་མེད་གྱུར། "The impure karmic appearances and confused consciousnesses are purified; sights and sounds become knowledge-emptiness inseparable".
