They are also sometimes mentioned as texts for recitation in preliminary practices. The first complete modern translation of The Two Stanza Dhāraṇī was published in 1883 by the French Orientalist Léon Feer in his Extraits du Kandjour.²¹ - [Previous: intro.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.gathadvayadharani*bo-d611~en-84000.intro.7) - [Next: intro.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.gathadvayadharani*bo-d611~en-84000.intro.9) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.gathadvayadharani*bo-d611~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.gathadvayadharani*bo-d611~en-84000.intro.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.other.gathadvayadharani*bo-d611~en-84000.intro.8) · Pramāṇa
