85 The Chinese original text simply displays 金 剛 經 Jingangjing ‘the Vajracchedikā-sūtra’.
86
This term in general refers to help sentient beings avoid hardships, such as starvation, sickness,
homelessness, etc. This is one of the five kinds of rebirths of bodhisattvas; see Soothill 340.
87 Name of a bodhisattva in the Avalokitêśvara group of the Garbhadhātu, a metamorphosis of Avalokitêśvara,
who sees that all prayers are answered; see Soothill 452.
88 Red-voice-vajra means “the Vidyārāja with a red face (voice) or the Fire-head-vajra where fire = red. He is
ferocious, has one head, and six arms that hold baton, bell, noose and mudrā” (DBI, vol. 13, p. 3715). The Old
Uyghur term for it is kız[ıl ün atlg v(a)žir], which might be translated word by word as [the vajra named red
voice. The Old Uyghur term is likely not a literal translation of the Chinese term 赤 聲 金 剛 chisheng jingang.
89 It is unclear why here yutruk atlg bodis(a)t(a)v (= vajramuṣṭi or vajrasandhi) stands for 金 剛 罥 菩 薩 jingang juan
pusa occurring in the Chinese parallel text. One possibility might be that in the Chinese text served as original
for the Uyghur translation had 眷 juan ‘relative’ of same pronunciation as 罥 juan ‘to hang up’, and then the
translator had confused it with 拳 quan ‘fist’ of similar shape. If not, I have no better explanation at this point.
The name of vajramuṣṭi or vajrasandhi occurs in U 2508 (T II 640) as v(a)čramušti with the gloss in Brāhmī va jra
muṣṭi. (P. Zieme, 8.05.08)
