The Dh?ra??sa?graha collections have been present in South Asia, and especially in Nepal, for more than eight hundred years and served to supply protection, merit and auspiciousness for those who commissioned their compilation. For modern scholarship, these diverse compendiums are valuable sources of incantations and related texts, many of which survive in Sanskrit only in such manuscripts. 410 0$aBeyond Boundaries 606 $aRELIGION / Buddhism / History$2bisacsh 610 $aBuddhism. 610 $aNepal. 610 $adharani. 610 $amagic. 615 7$aRELIGION / Buddhism / History. 676 $a294.385 700 $aHidas$b Gergely$f1970-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0967935 712 02$aEuropean Research Council,$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996423847003316 996 $aPowers of Protection$92814662 997 $aUNISA
