*Kongque wang zhou jing* (Sūtra of the Peacock King's Incantation), in two fascicles.
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Saṅghabhara of Funan under the Liang (seventh translation).
*Da kongque zhou wang jing* (Sūtra of the Great Peacock King of Incantations), in three fascicles.
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Yijing of the Great Tang at the Inner Bodhimaṇḍa of the Eastern Capital (newly compiled into the catalogue; eighth translation).
The above five sūtras are different translations of the same text (eight translations in all between old and new: five extant, three lost; the first six are abbreviated, while the last two are slightly expanded).
The above eleven sūtras in fourteen fascicles share the same case.
*Tuoluoni ji jing* (Collection of Dhāraṇīs), in twelve fascicles.
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Atikūṭa of Central India under the Great Tang (taken from the Great Zhou Catalogue; a combined translation of single and duplicate texts).
The above is extracted from a small portion of the Great Vidyā-mantra Piṭaka of the *Vajra-mahābodhimaṇḍa-sūtra*.
It was translated by gathering its essentials. (Within this collection, there are texts such as the *Da bore zhou jing* [Great Prajñā Incantation Sūtra] that circulate independently; because the catalogues did not indicate them fully, many people developed doubts fearing they were not genuine scriptures. To dispel these doubts, they are now itemised and listed below).
Fascicle 1: The Buddha Section, Part One ("Chapter on the Dhāraṇī of Great Spiritual Power and the Śākyamuni Uṣṇīṣa Samādhi Dhāraṇī").
Fascicle 2: The Buddha Section, Part Two (first, the method of depicting the images of all the Buddha-uṣṇīṣas; next, twenty-six mudrās along with dhāraṇīs, being the mudrā and dhāraṇī methods for the various Buddhas; third, the introductory mudrā and dhāraṇī methods of the *Amitābha Mahācintā-sūtra*, along with an explanation of rebirth attained through recitation, and the method of prayer beads; fourth, the Great Golden Wheel Dhāraṇī; fifth, the "Chapter on the Marks of Vajra Function").
Fascicle 3 (The *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra*, spoken by the Buddha in Śrāvastī; the dhāraṇī from the *Great Prajñā Naya* and the *Prajñā Hṛdaya* dhāraṇī are both contained here. Within this, the twelfth mudrā and dhāraṇī is called "Inexhaustible Treasury of Prajñā"; an annotation states: "This single mudrā and dhāraṇī was translated by Dharma Master Vāryasiṃha." At the end of the fascicle there is further the Mahācakra-vajra-dhāraṇī; if one recites this dhāraṇī, one may enter the maṇḍala and use the mudrās without it constituting theft of the Dharma).
Fascicle 4: The Avalokiteśvara Section, Part One (*Ekādaśamukha-avalokiteśvara-dhāraṇī-sūtra*).
Fascicle 5: The Avalokiteśvara Section, Part Two (first, two mudrās and dhāraṇīs: the Thousand-Turn Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva Dhāraṇī; next, six mudrās and dhāraṇīs: miscellaneous Avalokiteśvara mudrās and dhāraṇīs; third, one mudrā and dhāraṇī of Twelve-Armed Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva; fourth, four mudrās and dhāraṇīs of Amoghapāśa Avalokiteśvara; fifth, the method of painting Avalokiteśvara images; sixth, the chapter on the samādhi methods, mudrās, and dhāraṇīs of Avalokiteśvara-Bhṛkuṭī Bodhisattva).

Fascicle 8: The Vajra Section, Part Two (first, the chapter on the mudrās and dhāraṇīs of the sovereign spiritual power of Vajra Amṛtakuṇḍalī Bodhisattva; second, the mudrā and dhāraṇī methods of Vajrāṭṭahāsa, called in Tang Chinese "Great Laughter Vajra").
Fascicle 9: The Vajra Section, Part Three (first, the chapter on the method, mudrās, and dhāraṇīs of Vajra Ucchuṣma, called in Tang Chinese "Impure Vajra," which is the Fire-Head Vajra; second, the dhāraṇī methods of the Great Blue-Faced Vajra).

*Molizhitian jing* (Mārīcī Sūtra), in one fascicle (sometimes with "Small" added to the title).
Anonymous translation (now appended to the Liang catalogue; supplemented and entered [into the canon]).

*Zhou wu shou jing* (Sūtra of the Five Incantations), in one fascicle.
Translated by Tripiṭaka Master Xuanzang of the Great Tang (taken from the *Fanjing tu*; a combined translation of single and duplicate texts).
The "Five Incantations" are: 1. the Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇī that can destroy all transgressions; 2. the Six-Syllable Dhāraṇī; 3. the dhāraṇī spoken by seven koṭīs of Buddhas; 4. the dhāraṇī that conforms to the intent of all Tathāgatas; 5. Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva's Heart-Following Dhāraṇī. (The Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇī has also been separately copied to make an independent sūtra; since it is already included here, it is not listed separately. The Great Zhou Catalogue's division into five separate sūtras is mistaken).
*Qianzhuo tuoluoni guanshiyin pusa zhou jing* (Sūtra of the Thousand-Turn Dhāraṇī of Avalokiteśvara Bodhisattva), in one fascicle.
Translated by the śramaṇa Shi Zhitong of Zongchi Temple under the Great Tang (supplemented and entered [into the canon]; second translation).
