The Tshig mdzod chen mo (s.v. yang ’grel) gives the following meaning with an example: “repeated commentary/comment. The two, namely, quintessential instructions [imparted according to] experience of the learned ones and the repeated commentaries of imitation are quite similar but there is the suspicion/risk of mistaking [the two]” (’grel pa bskyar bzlos | … mkhas pa’i myong khrid gdams ngag dang || rjes zlos yang nas yang ’grel gnyis || ’dra dang ’dra ste nor dogs yod ||). But I am not sure if yang ’grel can also mean the “commentary of the commentary” (’grel pa’i ’grel pa) and hence a sub-commentary or super-commentary. This needs to be investigated. |
