51. The precise identity of these figures is uncertain, and this translation is conjectural. In his Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī, a commentary on the Mañjuśrīnāmasaṅgīti, Vilāsavajra refers to three brothers named Jayakara, Madhukara, and Sarvārthasiddhikara (Tribe 2016, p. 226: jayakaramadhukarasarvārthasiddhikarās trayo bhrātaras). In all available sources the first two names are consistently given as Jayakara and Madhukara, but the third name varies in the Sanskrit witnesses consulted. The oldest, KT728, reads ºsarvārtha(sā)dhanaº; CL1326, Dh33, and UTM 441-01 have ºsiddhikarasarvārthasādhanaº; and RASH 77 has ºsarvārthāsiddhisādhakaº. It is possible to interpret the Sanskrit reported in these sources to read “[the spells] of Jayakara, Madhukara, and Siddhikara used to accomplish all aims (sarvārthasādhana).”
