A short Kangyur dhāraṇī in which Maitreya vows to seek out and prophesy awakening for anyone who hears, reads, or contemplates the spell — including animals who merely overhear it. Tibetan root only; no known full English translation (absent from 84000).
Textual history
Preserved in the Derge Kangyur dhāraṇī collection (གཟུངས་འདུས་) as catalog D890 / Toh 890. The colophon credits the Indian paṇḍita Vajrapāṇi and the Tibetan lotsāwa Bhikṣu Chos kyi shes rab.
The Unicode witness here is taken from the Esukhia Digital Derge Kangyur (public-domain mechanical reproduction of the Derge woodblocks). No complete English translation appears in the 84000 data-tei corpus.
