Two such witnesses have been published by Hidas.³ The first is unfortunately fragmentary, and we cannot determine what the end of the text looked like. The second witness concludes the text with the application of the dhāraṇī, which is not mirrored in the Tibetan but is paralleled by the penultimate section of The Sūtra of Mahāśrī. Another difference is that in the Sanskrit, the name-dhāraṇī is revealed not only to Avalokiteśvara, but also to Mañjuśrī. - [Previous: intro.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.mahasrinamadvadasaka*bo-d1006~en-84000.intro.3) - [Next: intro.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.mahasrinamadvadasaka*bo-d1006~en-84000.intro.5) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.mahasrinamadvadasaka*bo-d1006~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.mahasrinamadvadasaka*bo-d1006~en-84000.intro.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.mahasrinamadvadasaka*bo-d1006~en-84000.intro.4) · Pramāṇa
