Strickmann gives a fairly detailed discussion of the content of the text. He seems to remain agnostic about the question of whether the text is a translation or a Chinese composition, though he does state that the text of a talisman is "clearly a Chinese adaptation of the goddess's Sanskrit spell" (153). On the date, he writes, "If this text indeed dates from the middle of the seventh century, it may also rank among the earliest explicit references to printing such curative seals on paper" (153).
