66. In the Sanskrit text in the parallel passage in the manuscript of the Mahāpratyaṅgīrā Mahāvidyārājñī, this line is an unbroken continuation of the same dhāraṇī that starts with buddhe buddhe. It reads in Sanskrit sarvavarṣavighnaviṣkambhiye svāhā, which phrase should be appended after śāntamānase at the end of the previous paragraph. However, since the this passage is translated in the Tibet text, we have accordingly translated it into English here. According to the Sanskrit, this dhāraṇī could be conjecturally reconstructed as buddhe buddhe bubuddhe subuddhe hara pāpaṃ sarva­sattvānām adhitiṣṭha puṇyaṃ sarva­buddhānāṃ dhariṇi­dhare śubhamate guṇāgraprāpaṇe mahā­jñānolke śukla­dharme satya­pratijñā mahāyānādhyuṣite loka­jyeṣṭha­bhagavati buddha­maitre āpūraya sarva­kṣetrāṇi śukleśvetāmbāre pāṇḍaravāsini dhudhure dhudhuru śama śama śāntamānase sarva­varṣa­vighna­viṣkambhiye. The dhāraṇī seems to be addressing a cloud that is bright with lightning and identified with the goddess Pāṇḍaravāsinī, the consort of Amitābha. It could be translated as “O realized one, utterly and profoundly realized! Remove what is evil and bless (invest?) all beings with the merit of all the buddhas. O maintainer (sustainer?) of the earth with a pure mind, you have attained the very best of qualities. O firebrand (meteor?) of great gnosis, your dharmas are white. You are true to your promises. You are a receptacle for the Great Vehicle. You are the most exalted lady(?) ( bhagavatī ) in the world. O rumbling one, make your rumbling sounds! Pacify, pacify, O tranquil-minded one who clears away all hindrances to rainfall.”
