It is also not found in the Denkarma (ldan dkar ma) or Phangthangma (’phang thang ma) Tibetan imperial translation inventories. The translation has no colophon, so we do not know who the translators were, nor do we have knowledge of any other circumstances surrounding the translation into Tibetan.⁴ - [Previous: intro.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.tarastaghorataranisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.3) - [Next: intro.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.tarastaghorataranisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.5) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.tarastaghorataranisutra*bo~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.tarastaghorataranisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.goddess.tarastaghorataranisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.4) · Pramāṇa
