The earliest Chinese translation of a textual tradition for the Goddess Cundā in the Taishō was produced in 685 ce by the translator Divākara (Taishō 1077).¹⁵ A second Chinese translation in the Taishō was then completed in 723 ce by Vajrabodhi (Taishō 1075),¹⁶ and the third Chinese translation in the Taishō was completed in 1246 ce by Amoghavajra (Taishō 1076).¹⁷ These translations supported Cundā’s widespread popularity across East Asian Buddhist traditions, which continues to this day. - [Previous: intro.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.cundadevidharani*bo-d989~en-84000.intro.6) - [Next: intro.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.cundadevidharani*bo-d989~en-84000.intro.8) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.cundadevidharani*bo-d989~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.cundadevidharani*bo-d989~en-84000.intro.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.cundadevidharani*bo-d989~en-84000.intro.7) · Pramāṇa
