The Tibetan text translated here is different from the Sanskrit text dedicated to the corresponding rakṣā goddess found in the extant Sanskrit sources (Skilling 1994); even the goddess’s name is not the same—in the Sanskrit text (nowadays accepted as ‘standard’ for this rakṣā) this name is given as Mahāmantrānusāriṇī/-aṇī, whereas the name inferred from the array of (possibly back-translated) Sanskrit titles found in the different editions of the Tibetan canon might have been Mahāmantrānudhāriṇī/-aṇī.
