In most but not all citations of the spell’s name—either as the title of a text or as a reference to the spell within a text—the term “name” (nāman; zhes bya ba) immediately follows the compound sarva­tathāgatoṣṇīṣa­sitātapatrā, thereby marking it as the primary title of the deity/spell/text. In a small number of instances the word nāman is omitted altogether, and in rare cases it is shifted to a different point in the title. The instability of the title both across and within the texts contributes to the challenge of interpreting it properly. - [Previous: notes.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.sitatapatra*bo~en-84000.notes.1) - [Next: notes.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.sitatapatra*bo~en-84000.notes.3) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.sitatapatra*bo~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.sitatapatra*bo~en-84000.notes.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.sitatapatra*bo~en-84000.notes.2) · Pramāṇa
