Notably, the dhāraṇī is one of only twelve works in the Compendium of Dhāraṇīs section that, because they are not duplicated in other sections of the Kangyur, are likely to have found their way into the Tshalpa lineage Kangyurs as a result of having been included in earlier collections of dhāraṇīs and associated ritual texts from which the Compendium of Dhāraṇīs seems to have been compiled.⁴ These collections, known in Sanskrit as dhāraṇī­saṃgrahas, circulated throughout South Asia and Tibet—including at Dunhuang—as extracanonical dhāraṇī collections.⁵
