The Taishō contains three Chinese translations of a single work devoted to the Goddess Cundā that differs in both length and content from The Dhāraṇī of the Goddess Cundā in the Tibetan Kangyurs. 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.
