2. 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” (naman; zhes bya ba) immediately follows the compound sarva­tathāgatoṣṇīṣa­sitātrapatrā, thereby marking it as the primary title of the deity/spell/text. In a small number of instances the word naman 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.
