intro.9

The present translation was completed based on the Tibetan translation of The Dhāraṇī of Agrapradīpa preserved in the Tantra and Dhāraṇī sections of the Degé Kangyur⁷ as the representative of the Tshalpa (tshal pa) group of Kangyurs, and in consultation with the version in the Stok Palace Kangyur as representative of the Thempangma (them spangs ma) group. This translation also utilized the comparative apparatus of the Comparative Edition (dpe bsdur ma) of the Degé Kangyur. The Tibetan translations are remarkably stable across versions, with no substantive variants to report. The six dhāraṇīs recorded in transliterated Sanskrit have been reported as they are written in the Degé version, with no attempt made to emend or standardize the Sanskrit reported therein.
