Abstract
<p>The Mahāmantrānusāriṇī (MN) is a Buddhist scripture associated with the Pañcarakṣā, a unit of five dhāraṇī. This dhāraṇī sūtra has two versions, an A version (MN-A) and a B version (MN-B).</p><p>In the MN-A, Buddha bestows the MN on Ānanda, who subsequently practices it. Moreover, in the MN-B, after the Buddha responds to Brahman, he preaches the MN to Ānanda. The main point in common between these two versions is preaching the dhāraṇī for the purpose of quelling plagues. However, many other contents of the MN-A differ from those in the MN-B. For example, the MN-A is set in Vaiśālī, but the MN-B is set in the Jetavana.</p><p>On the other hand, the MN-B is similar to the Mahāmāyūrī (MY) rather than to the MN-A. For example, both are preached in the same place, and both are described as being protected by knowing the names of many rakṣasī, etc. In this paper, I present the key features of the MN-B in the Tibetan translation.</p>
