skyon bzhi;four faults (attributed to the ''secret nucleus'');four faults (attributed to the ''secret nucleus'');Different enumerations of these have been given. For example, Sodokpa Lodrö Gyeltsen, ''dris-lan lung-dang rigs-pa'i 'brug-sgra'', p. 33, reports them to be that this tantra is flawed in word (''sgra-skyon''), flawed in meaning (''don-skyon''), flawed by contradiction ('' 'gal-skyon'') and flawed by disconnection (''ma-'brel-ba'i skyon''). According to the ''Scholar's Feast of Doctrinal History'', p. 179, they are the error of the introductory statement “At the time I gave this explanation” ('' 'di-skad bdag-gis bshad-pa ces mi-rigs-pa''), the error of the maṇḍala having an immeasurable ground (''gzhi tshad-med mi-rigs-pa''), the error of explaining the three times as four times (''dus-gsum-la dus-bzhir bshad pa mi-rigs-pa'') and the error of [[Vajrasattva]] being the central deity of the maṇḍala (''dkyil-'khor-gyi gtso-bo rdo-rje sems-dpas byas-pa mi-rigs-pa''). Similarly, Gö Khukpa Lhetse in his ''Broadside'' is said to have criticised the fault of the introduction (''klong-log'') which claims that the ''Secret Nucleus'' has no audience of [[bodhisattva]]s who requested and received it, unlike the other tantras;the fault of time (''dus-log'') which claims the ''Secret Nucleus'' speaks of four times instead of three;the fault of the maṇḍala (''dkyil-'khor log'') which claims that [[Vajrasattva]] appears at the centre of the maṇḍala instead of [[Vairocana]];and the fault of the tantra itself (''rgyud-log'') which claims that the ''Secret Nucleus'' refers to other tantras when indicating the auspicious times and days for its practice. These four faults, which have many aspects, have been refuted by Rikpei Reldri, Sodokpa Lodrö Gyeltsen, Jikme Lingpa and others. See GGFTC (pp. 61-72). 914, 916 +
