This is followed by the main dhāraṇī, which was not translated into Tibetan but preserved in transliterated Sanskrit. The Tibetan text lacks a colophon, so the Tibetan translators and editors of the dhāraṇī remain unidentified. - [Previous: intro.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.taradharani*bo-d1001~en-84000.intro.3) - [Next: intro.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.taradharani*bo-d1001~en-84000.intro.5) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.taradharani*bo-d1001~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.taradharani*bo-d1001~en-84000.intro.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.taradharani*bo-d1001~en-84000.intro.4) · Pramāṇa
