Fóshuō liùzì shénzhòuwáng jīng 佛說六字神呪王經

Sūtra of the Divine Six-Syllable Spell-King (Recension A) [anonymous translator, attributed to Eastern Jìn]

About the work

The Recension A (Korean canon line) of an anonymous Eastern-Jìn six-syllable spell-text. The pair T1045A and T1045B (Recension A and B = KR6j0244) preserve two parallel transmissions of the same underlying Liùzì shénzhòuwáng text. For the broader Liùzì tradition see KR6j0242.

Abstract

This text is closely related to T1044 (KR6j0242) and T1046 (KR6j0245), all anonymous Eastern-Jìn translations of variants of the ṣaḍ-akṣarī-vidyā (six-syllable spell) tradition. The Recension A line preserves the Korean-canon (高麗藏) text, while Recension B (KR6j0244) preserves a parallel Sòng-canon transmission. The variants between A and B are concentrated in the dhāraṇī orthography and minor narrative-frame details. For the broader textual and doctrinal context see KR6j0242.
