Shrdvasti (Tib. lAnyan-yod), who tells him this dhdran'i, as a remedy against 

 all evil. Some mantras, and the stories of their great efficacy. 



Note. — There are many repetitions in the whole volume. The translation of many of the 

 works is attributed to the celebrated translators in the ninth century^, as, Jina-mitra, Da'na- 

 SHiLA, SuRENDKA BoDHij Prajna^ Varma, &c. and Bands' Ye'shb's-sde' ; but, I think they 

 had no part in the translation of several of them, judging from the contents of these works, and 

 of other large treatises translated elsewhere by them. And it is stated by Tibetan writers, that the 

 princes at that time permitted only a few Tantrika works to be translated.
