¹³⁴ See Walter Liebenthal, *Monumenta Serica* 12, 1947, 1–40; D. C. Sircar, *JAIH* 3, 1969–70, 36–41; and Oskar von Hinüber, *Journal of the Siam Society* 77, 1989, 55–59. Similar Buddhist ritual inscriptions of Sanskrit *mantras* or *dhāraṇīs* in Siddhamātṛkā are also found in Japan and other Buddhist countries of East Asia. Ritual inscriptions of Sanskrit *mantras* in Tibetan script, especially the *oṃ maṇi padme hūṃ* prayer stones, are ubiquitous in Tibet (cf. 4.1.7).
