The three mantras below were orally obtained directly by Master Xuanmo, a translation monk of the Great Tang from Xingshan Temple in the Western Capital, from the Tripiṭaka Master Prabhā[karamitra] and other venerable brāhmaṇas. Formerly there was no authentic text in the scriptures; it had previously been obtained through translations from brāhmaṇas, but because the text was corrupt and abbreviated, and did not follow authentic Sanskrit, it was translated again. Although there are additions and omissions, one need not be perplexed.
