A text with a parallel title (de gshin \[sic? bzhin?\] gshegs pa rin cen \[sic? chen\] gtsug phud mtshan rjes su dran pa), which appears to have similar content to the present work, is listed in Dalton and van Schaik’s catalog as IOL Tib-J 312/7. However, the manuscript that contains this text has not yet been digitized and, therefore, does not appear on the International Dunhuang Project’s webpage. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain with full certainty that it is the same as the present text. In their summary, Dalton and van Schaik mention that according to IOL Tib-J 312/7, when the dhāraṇī found there is recollected at the moment of death, it brings rebirth in the heavens. Given that this is precisely the content of the present text, it is likely to be the same dhāraṇī text. Moreover, the immediately preceding text in the same Dunhuang manuscript, IOL Tib-J 312/6, bears the same title and a similar description to Toh 536, increasing the likelihood that these two works in the Degé Kangyur are the same as those that appear in the very same order in IOL Tib-J 312. Notably, the Tibetan translation of Ratnaśikhin’s name in IOL Tib-J 312 (rin cen \[sic? chen?\] gtsug phud) is different from that in the present text (rin chen gtsug tor). However, both variants are found in other works in the Tibetan canon, and it appears that both are accepted Tibetan translations of the name Ratnaśikhin. - [Previous: notes.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.ratnasikhinamasmarana*bo~en-84000.notes.3) - [Next: notes.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.ratnasikhinamasmarana*bo~en-84000.notes.5) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.ratnasikhinamasmarana*bo~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.ratnasikhinamasmarana*bo~en-84000.notes.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.buddha.ratnasikhinamasmarana*bo~en-84000.notes.4) · Pramāṇa
