The translation was edited several centuries later by Gö Lotsāwa Shönu Pal (’gos lo tsA ba gzhon nu dpal, 1392–1481), who based his work on a Sanskrit manuscript that had been in the possession of Chak Lotsāwa Chöjé Pal (chag lo tsA ba chos rje dpal, 1197–1263/64). The Stok Palace Kangyur contains yet another recension of Yeshé Dé’s translation in which the mantras were revised by Butön Rinchen Drup (bu ston rin chen grub, 1290–1364) based on two Sanskrit manuscripts from India.¹³ - [Previous: intro.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.deity.mahasitavanisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.8) - [Next: intro.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.deity.mahasitavanisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.10) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.deity.mahasitavanisutra*bo~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.deity.mahasitavanisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.deity.mahasitavanisutra*bo~en-84000.intro.9) · Pramāṇa
