There are three versions of this dhāraṇī rite. The most extensive is this text, The Great Queen of Vidyās [Toh 590], for which the previous translator is unidentified. The middle-length version is the one known as The Supreme Accomplishment [Toh 591], which was translated by Zu Gawé Dorjé. The concise version is [called] “the one known as the lesser of the heavenly realm” [Toh 593] and was translated by the Kashmiri paṇḍita Mahājana. There is another, shorter version of “the one known as the lesser of the heavenly realm” (Toh 592) that is distinct only for lacking the scriptural introduction. It need not be counted [separately].¹⁹
