§11. Ritual texts for Mañjuśrī

This section consists of texts relating to Mañjuśrī, starting chiefly with

forms of Mañjuśrī differentiated by the length of his basic mantra:

five syllables (Arapacana) [1171–1173 (‡Trailokyavijaya-mahākal–

parāja), 1174–1176], six syllables [1179, 1180], one syllable [1181, 1182],

and eight syllables [1184, 1185]. These are followed by the Mañjuś–

rīnāmasaṃgīti [1187–1190], Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa [1191] (of which

individual chapters were also translated separately into Chinese:

nos. 1181, 1182, 1215, 1216, 1276), and several ritual and laudatory

texts, including the *Mañjuśrībodhisattvamaṅgalagāthā [1196] and

‡Mañjuśrīnāmāsṭ̣aśataka [1197].
