5. Note that there is a discrepancy among various databases for cataloging the Toh 848 version of this text within vol. 100 or 101 of the Degé Kangyur. See Toh 848 note 5 for details. This text, Toh 848, and all those contained in this same volume (gzungs ’dus, e), are listed as being located in volume 100 of the Degé Kangyur by the Buddhist Digital Resource Center (BDRC). However, several other Kangyur databases—including the eKangyur that supplies the digital input version displayed by the 84000 Reading Room—list this work as being located in volume 101. This discrepancy is partly due to the fact that the two volumes of the gzungs ’dus section are an added supplement not mentioned in the original catalog, and also hinges on the fact that the compilers of the Tōhoku catalog placed another text—which forms a whole, very large volume—the Vimalaprabhānāmakālacakratantraṭīkā (dus ’khor ’grel bshad dri med ’od, Toh 845), before the present volume, numbering it as vol. 100, although it is almost certainly intended to come right at the end of the Degé Kangyur texts as volume 102; indeed its final fifth chapter is often carried over and wrapped in the same volume as the Kangyur dkar chags (catalog). Please note this discrepancy when using the eKangyur viewer in this translation.

8. In the par phud printing this text begins on F.42.a. This is due to a discrepancy in volume 88 (rgyud ’bum, na) of the Degé Kangyur between the 1737 par phud printings and the late (post par phud) printings. In the latter case, an extra work, Bodhimaṇḍasyālaṃkāralakṣadhāraṇī (Toh 508, byang chub snying po’i rgyan ’bum gyi gzungs), was added as the second text in the volume, thereby displacing the pagination of all the following texts in the same volume by 17 folios. Since the eKangyur follows the later printing, this later reference has been used in order to link to the eKangyur viewer. In the Toh 522 version of this text there is discrepancy in the folio numbering between the 1737 par phud printings and the late (post par phud) printings of the Degé Kangyur. Although the discrepancy is irrelevant here, further details concerning this may be found in note 8 of the Toh 522 version of this text.

11. The Sanskrit names for the four tathāgatas in this translation have been derived from the concluding verse to the preceding dhāraṇī, which reads: namo jñānolkasya tathāgatasya namo suvarṇaprabhākūṭanirbhāsasya tathāgatasya namo satyavādinē tathāgatasya namau bhikṣmasvaragarjitarājebhya tathātatēbhya siddhyaṃtu maṃtrapadā svāhā ||.
