intro.12
There is no known Sanskrit witness for The Dhāraṇī of the Eight Goddesses, and the text does not appear to have been translated into Chinese. It appears in both the Denkarma¹ and Phangthangma² imperial Tibetan catalogs of translated works, and the translators’ colophon to the Tibetan witness in the Degé Kangyur notes that it was translated by the Indian preceptor Śīlendrabodhi and the Tibetan translator Bandé Yeshé Dé. These data suggest that The Dhāraṇī of the Eight Goddesses was translated into Tibetan during the eighth century.
