Abstract

<p>　In this paper, the author discusses Vimalamitra‘s commentaries on Vajravidāraṇa-dhāraṇī. Among the notes on Vajravidāraṇa-dhāraṇī, Vimalamitra wrote two commentaries (Toh.2681, Toh.2682), and it is evident that these were considered important. In this paper, we primarily focus on the merits of dharani (Sanskrit multi-syllabic chants) and compare the commentaries. In general, portions that can be considered citations of Toh.2681 appear occasionally in Toh.2682. Evidently, the extensive commentaries of Toh.2682 are written with an awareness of Toh.2681. Furthermore, with regard to the content, although only certain portions have been compared, the ideas appear consistent. Therefore, the writing is presumed to be by the same person.</p><p>　Furthermore, the extensive commentaries on Toh.2682 were possibly written because the Vajravidāraṇa-dhāraṇī used to be practiced widely.</p>
