Complete copy of thedhāraṇī. The final folio of the present manuscript, found at the end of the second item (19; IOL folio no. 92), should go between folios5and6(IOL nos. 78 and 79), where it fills a lacuna (compare204: 258b.2-7). The tibetan page numbers do not reflect this lacuna however, proceding directly from 36 to 37. Like the other Dunhuang copies of this text, the present manuscript generally follows the order of the canonical version (204), but it is clearly a different translation of an earlier version. The major differences are three passages that appear in the canonical version but not in the Dunhuang versions. These are found at204: 259a.1-6(missing from6r.4),204: 260a.2-5(missing from8r.3), and204: 260b.1-4(missing from and expanding upon9r.1-3). The new material seems to reflect an increased interest in the ritual dagger (San.kīla; Tib.phur bu) and demonology. Overall, the text consists of a series ofdhāraṇī, each preceded by a list of the relevent uses, including types of demons, natural disasters, illnesses, childbirth and so on.
