intro.6
The Sanskrit for the first part of the dhāraṇī proper is included in a series of dhāraṇīs located on two gold foils found in a reliquary from a shrine at Candi Plaosan in Indonesia. A variant of the dhāraṇī is found in the Sūtra of the Dhāraṇī of Knowledge of Former Lives (Sumingzhi tuolouni jing), which was translated into Chinese by Faxian in 996.⁵ However, it appears that no Sanskrit recension or Chinese translation of Recollecting the Names of the Buddha Ratnaśikhin is extant.
