Title: [gtsug tor rnam par rgyal ba'i gzungs]

Title: [Uṣṇīṣavijaya-dhāraṇī]

Incipit: 1r.31@/:/na mo rad na tra ya ya/

dharani

TheUṣṇīṣavijaya-dhāraṇīspell, extracted from the widerUṣṇīṣavijaya-dhāraṇīsutra. Additional copies of the transcribed spell only appear atIOL Tib J 466/2,IOL Tib J 547,IOL Tib J 1134,IOL Tib J 1498,72, and73. These differ in some respects from the spell found in the canonical version of the text (197: 222a.7-222b.7and198: 228a.6-228b.6), which suggests a comparison with the Tibetan translations of thedhāraṇīspell seen atIOL Tib J 322andIOL Tib J 348/3. For Dunhuang copies of the actual sutra, see6,54, and368.

Title: las kyi sgrib pa la rnam par sbyong ba'i gzungs

Incipit: 1r.16sgrib pa thams cad rnam par sbyong ba zhes bya ba'i gzungs /

dharani

Incomplete copy of adhāraṇīthat does not appear in the canon (it is not the same as the similarly titled work found at884). A complete copy of the same text can be found at49/3. The spell is given at the beginning and is followed immediately by the ritual manual (cho ga). Apart from the benefits to be gained from the usual copying, reciting, wearing, and holding thedhāraṇī, it is particularly recommended for saving the deceased from negative rebirths. One can, for example, ensure a rebirth in the heavens by reciting thedhāraṇīover seeds or water that are then sprinkled over the corpse, then burning the body or place it in a tomb, with the writtendhāraṇīattached to the forehead, and finally reciting thedhāraṇīfor seven days.
