This translates Tibetan rig pa bzang po ’di dang ni. As in the instance above, we have interpreted bzang po to be short for mtshan mo bzang po’i mdo (“the sūtra Auspicious Night”). Alternatively, it may be translated literally as “this auspicious incantation (Sanskrit vidyā)” or “this good incantation.” However, in light of what has been stated in the previous verses and their frequent reference to Auspicious Night, we interpret rig pa (vidyā) here to refer to the whole sūtra Auspicious Night itself. - [Previous: notes.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.disease.bhadrakaratri*bo-d617~en-84000.notes.37) - [Next: notes.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.disease.bhadrakaratri*bo-d617~en-84000.notes.39) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.disease.bhadrakaratri*bo-d617~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.disease.bhadrakaratri*bo-d617~en-84000.notes.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.protection.disease.bhadrakaratri*bo-d617~en-84000.notes.38) · Pramāṇa
