intro.7
The Tibetan scholar Tāranātha (1575–1634) composed a commentary on The Single Stanza as well as sequential commentaries on three of the other five texts in the above-mentioned set,¹⁵ corroborating Kano’s view that these texts were seen as related.¹⁶ The importance of The Single Stanza and the other texts in the set for recitation is evident. In Tibet, they are included in extracts from sūtra and tantra (gces btus), collected liturgical texts (chos spyod), collections of mantras and dhāraṇīs for recitation, and collections of sādhanas. They are also sometimes mentioned as texts for recitation in preliminary practices.
