² E.g. Dhāraṇī-(mantra)-saṃgraha, Raj. Mitra, Nep. Buddh. Lit., p. 80 f. Other single Dhāraṇīs and collections of Dhāraṇīs, l.c., pp. 93 f., 174, 176, 267 f., 283, 291 f. Numerous MSS. of Dhāraṇīs are also included in Bendall's Catalogue. La Vallée Poussin, JRAS 1895, p. 433 f., assumes that a "Vidyādhara-Piṭaka" quoted in the Ādikarma-Pradīpa and in the Śikṣā-Samuccaya, p. 142, is the same as a Dhāraṇī-Piṭaka. According to Hsüan-Tsang, a Dhāraṇī-Piṭaka of this kind was contained in the Canon of the Mahā-Sāṅghikas (Kern, Manual, p. 4).
