5. Śāntideva, Śikṣāsamuccaya, in Śikṣāsamuccaya of Śāntideva, edited by P. L. Vaidya, Buddhist Sanskrit Texts 11 (Darbhanga: Mithila Institute of Post-Graduate Studies and Research in Sanskrit Learning, 1960), p. 96. The Tibetan witnesses of The Dhāraṇī of the Goddess Cundā preserved in the various recensions of the Kangyur focus primarily on invoking Cundā for protection against various illnesses that are brought on by demonic beings. There is no true equivalent of an invocation to the goddess for the purification of one’s misdeeds. It is thus possible that the version of The Dhāraṇī of the Goddess Cundā that survives in the Tibetan Kangyurs is somewhat different from the text that Śāntideva references in his Śikṣāsamucchaya.
