Nasu contends that the Foding zuisheng tuoluoni jing 佛頂最勝陀羅尼經 T969 is a "revised translation" (改訳) based upon T968 (p. 23), but does not challenge the status of T969 as a legitimate translation. Entry author: Chengpeng Li |

Sasaki believes that both the Foding zunsheng tuoluoni jing 佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經 T968 and the Foding zuisheng tuoluoni jing 佛頂最勝陀羅尼經T969 (both versions of the Uṣṇīṣavijaya-dhāraṇī) are translations, but from different Vorlagen. Entry author: Chengpeng Li |

The Foding zuisheng tuoluoni jing 佛頂最勝陀羅尼經 T969 (Uṣṇīṣavijaya-dhāraṇī) is ascribed to *Divākara 地婆訶羅, and the ascription is recorded in numerous Buddhist catalogues. Li argues that T969 is not in fact a translation. Instead, it is a text produced by revision of the Foding zunsheng tuoluoni jing 佛頂尊勝陀羅尼經 T968. On the basis of close examination of phraseology and style in T968 and T969, and comparing both with T967 and one early Sanskrit version of the Uṣṇīṣavijaya-dhāraṇī, Li finds that the revision strategies used to produce T969 include abbreviating terminology, rearranging word sequences, merging sentences into one concise statement, and omitting entire paragraphs. In this sense, Li concludes that T969 is a condensed revision of T968, which most likely was produced without consulting any new Indic Vorlage. Entry author: Chengpeng Li |
