Definition in this text:

The Sanskrit term kṛśara (or kṛsara) refers to a dish made of sesame together with a mixture of rice, peas, and spices. The Tibetan seems to understand this as a type of oil (Tib. mar) and appears to have preserved a corrupted reading that reflects the Sanskrit back-translation *trisara.
