The Mahāsūtra “On Entering the City of Vaiśālī” intro.13

Language

intro.13

A commentary by Karmavajra, possibly written in the eleventh century, in which some chapters are devoted to both the Mahā­mantrānu­sāriṇī and On Entering the City of Vaiśālī (and other chapters to another Pañcarakṣa text, the Mahā­mantrānudhāri­sūtra, Toh 563¹⁶), is to be found in Tibetan translation in the Tengyur, Toh 2692. The commentary appears to focus more on the ritual practice of the texts than on their historical or narrative aspects, and it would no doubt merit further exploration.
