The Sanskrit of this work is preserved in what Gregory Schopen calls the “Los Angeles Manuscript,” though it appears to be held currently in Japan. This is an early manuscript from Bamiyan-Gilgit that Schopen transcribed and translated into English in an unpublished work, which we are grateful to Jacob Dalton for sharing. In addition to being incomplete, probably due to the loss of a folio, the manuscript lacks several passages that are found in the Tibetan translation of Toh 597 and contains a few passages that are absent in that translation, including two passages that are found in Toh 594. Nonetheless, the Sanskrit manuscript is by and large the same work that is translated into Tibetan as Toh 597. More recently, the Sanskrit of the very same manuscript was studied by Gudrun Meltzer in a 2007 “limited distribution report” (Silk 2021, p. 108), to which we have not had access, as well as by Unebe Toshiya, who published the Sanskrit along with a Japanese translation in a 2015 article. - [Previous: notes.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.usnisavijaya*bo-d984~en-84000.notes.2) - [Next: notes.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.usnisavijaya*bo-d984~en-84000.notes.4) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.usnisavijaya*bo-d984~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.usnisavijaya*bo-d984~en-84000.notes.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.dharani.usnisavijaya*bo-d984~en-84000.notes.3) · Pramāṇa
