The unique manuscript transmitting this text is currently being studied by Szántó for a forthcoming publication, Buddhism for Beginners II: The Mañjukīrti Corpus. The current location of the manuscript is not known with certainty. It was first seen and identified by Rāhula Sāṅkṛityāyana at Ngor Monastery; see Sāṅkṛityāyana 1935, p. 32. We are reading the text from the photographs kept at the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Göttingen, shelf number Xc 14/50; for the catalog entry, see Bandurski 1994, pp. 86–87. Little is known of the author; the manuscript is undated but was most likely copied in Magadha during the twelfth century. The dhāraṇī can be found on folio 7 verso within the context of installing caityas. A somewhat carelessly produced edition of the text has now been published in Dhīḥ: Journal of Rare Buddhist Texts Research Unit 62 (2022): 89–150. The dhāraṇī is on pp. 102–3. - [Previous: notes.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhirajanamadharani*bo-d942~en-84000.notes.2) - [Next: notes.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhirajanamadharani*bo-d942~en-84000.notes.4) - [Up: notes](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhirajanamadharani*bo-d942~en-84000.notes) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhirajanamadharani*bo-d942~en-84000.notes.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhi.samadhirajanamadharani*bo-d942~en-84000.notes.3) · Pramāṇa
