Toh 536 notes.1

notes.1

1. A text with the same title and which appears to have similar content is listed in Dalton and van Schaik’s catalog as the sixth text included in IOL Tib-J 312. However, that manuscript has not yet been digitized and, therefore, does not appear on the International Dunhuang Project’s webpage, so we were unable to ascertain with full certainty that it is the same text. Dalton and van Schaik’s summary mentions that the dhāraṇī in IOL Tib-J 312.6 serves the purpose of clearing away karmic obscurations, which is also mentioned in the present text, so it is likely to be the same as the present dhāraṇī. The immediately following text in IOL Tib-J 312.7 also bears the same title and a similar description to Toh 537, increasing the likelihood that these two works in the Degé Kangyur are the same as those that appear in the same order in IOL Tib-J 312.
