It is listed in both the Denkarma⁵ and Phangthangma⁶ catalogs of the Tibetan imperial translations, which shows that the Tibetan translation was completed prior to the compilation and publication of the Denkarma catalog in 812 ce. While the colophon in the Degé Kangyur version attributes the Tibetan translation to Surendrabodhi and Yeshé Dé, the colophon in the Stok Palace (stog pho brang) Kangyur version attributes it to Prajñāvarman, Yeshé Dé, and others.⁷ - [Previous: intro.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.buddha.mangalastaka*bo~en-84000.intro.5) - [Next: intro.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.buddha.mangalastaka*bo~en-84000.intro.7) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.buddha.mangalastaka*bo~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.buddha.mangalastaka*bo~en-84000.intro.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.buddha.mangalastaka*bo~en-84000.intro.6) · Pramāṇa
