We have translated the title of this text based on the Sanskrit title provided in the Tibetan text (aparimitaguṇānuśāṁsa). Here we have interpreted the Sanskrit compound to reflect the internal syntax \*aparimitasya guṇānām anuśaṁsaḥ. A literal translation of the Tibetan title (yon tan bsngags pa dpag tu med pa) might be Immeasurable Praising of Qualities. If the Tibetan title were to reflect our reading of the Sanskrit compound aparimitaguṇānuśāṁsa it would have to be emended to dpag tu med pa’i yon tan bsngags pa. Ultimately, the decision to follow the reading reflected in the Sanskrit title was supported by the fact that the dhāraṇī itself is clearly addressed to the buddha Amitābha. Translating the title based on the Tibetan would obscure the fact that the title is a reference to Amitābha, not just a generic sense of “immeasurable qualities.” - [Previous: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.aparimitagunanusamsadharani*bo-d851~en-84000.1) - [Next: notes.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.aparimitagunanusamsadharani*bo-d851~en-84000.notes.2) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.aparimitagunanusamsadharani*bo-d851~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.aparimitagunanusamsadharani*bo-d851~en-84000.notes.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.aparimitagunanusamsadharani*bo-d851~en-84000.notes.1) · Pramāṇa
