The Buddha says to the bhikṣu Śāradvatīputra that the unbounded dhāraṇī is like a mother to bodhisattvas and is practiced by them all. It has no location in any phenomenon or time and is without origination, but its possession leads to the highest enlightenment. The chapter states that offering to the dhāraṇī is the same as offering to a buddha. At Śāradvatīputra’s request, the Buddha recites the dhāraṇī. He describes its great benefit and its alternate name as the dhāraṇī of nonattachment and states that it is the mother of all tathāgatas.
