9. The italicized phrases in English are translations of Tibetan words that either were added to the dhāraṇī or replaced some Sanskrit words. Giunta’s edition is based on a Tucci manuscript that probably belonged originally to an individual named Āvadhūta Śrī Ālakhavajra, as it asks the reader to pray for this individual, his family, and all beings. See Giunta, “The Āryadhvajāgrakeyūrā nāma dhāriṇī.” In India, it is not unusual to insert one’s name or someone else’s name in a mantra. We can assume that the Tibetan translators have instead inserted “I and all sentient beings,” “protect us from all harm…,” and so on, which are the non-italicized phrases in our translation.
