Three folios out of the long and influentialdhāraṇī, recensions of which date from at least the fourth century C.E. A number of additional folios from the same manuscript can be found at359. Note the folios are numbered on the verso. The first folio corresponds to the canonical version at178: 109b.4-110a.8. The third folio corresponds to178: 116a.7-117a.2, and the second folio follows on immediately from this at178: 117a.2-117b.5. The Tibetan canonical version of this text is said to have been translated byYe shes sdeand others in the eighth century, so one would expect the present manuscript to be the same. Indeed the version seen here does follow closely the canonical version, though it differs in its choice of translation for a number or terms. For a summary of the contents, see19-29.
