3. The Kangyur manuscripts suggest that the Sanskrit title of this text was *Āryatārāṣṭaghoretāsvīsūtra or a variant thereof. We have followed the Tōhoku catalogue, amending the title to *Āryatārāṣṭaghoratāraṇīsūtra. It is worthwhile to note that the Sanskrit term *aṣṭaghora appears to be a unique way to refer to the eight dangers. The commonly used Sanskrit term is aṣṭamahābhaya. Both terms are very similar in meaning and both can be translated into Tibetan as ’jigs pa [chen po] brgyad.
