Introduction

i.1This text presents a single dhāraṇī for the attainment of the ten perfections that does not appear to be contained in any other canonical text. No additional explanation is given, although in Meisezahl’s manuscript the dhāraṇī is followed by a “confession and purification” (gso sbyong) ritual. The text appears to be a more condensed version of the dhāraṇī for the six individual perfections presented in Toh 580, and an alternate version of the idea set forth in Toh 579. No Sanskrit title is provided for this text, and its title is given on the basis of the Tibetan alone.

i.1這部經文呈現了一個獲得十波羅蜜的陀羅尼,似乎未出現在任何其他的正典文獻中。雖然沒有提供額外的解釋,但在邁塞札爾的手稿中,這個陀羅尼之後附有一個「懺悔淨化」的儀式。這部經文似乎是第580號經文中呈現的六波羅蜜個別陀羅尼的更精簡版本,也是第579號經文所闡述想法的另一版本。這部經文未提供梵文標題,其標題是單獨根據藏文確定的。

i.2This translation of the text into English relied primarily on the Degé recension while referring to variant readings in other recensions as noted in the Comparative Edition (dpe bsdur ma) and validated in the source texts‍—notably Narthang. No previous translation of this text into a language outside the Tibetan sphere of influence is known. Meisezahl (1957) provides a diplomatic edition of the dhāraṇī found in the Linden Museum Tibetan collection.

i.2本文的英文翻譯主要根據德格版本進行,同時參考了對勘本(dpe bsdur ma)中所注記的其他版本異文,並在源文本中進行驗證——尤其是納塘版本。據悉,本文尚無翻譯成藏區影響範圍以外其他語言的前例。梅塞瑞爾(Meisezahl,1957年)提供了林登博物館藏品中所收陀羅尼的版本記錄。
