The five great dharanis or more literally the five classes of great dharanis (Tib. གཟུངས་ཆེན་སྡེ་ལྔ་, zung chen dé nga, Wyl. gzungs chen sde lnga) — the Fifth Dalai Lama said that the most important relic of the dharmakaya (Wyl. chos kyi sku’i ring bsrel) in a stupa are dharanis.[1] In particular, Tibetan scholars, group together five classes of dharanis, which are inserted as dharmakaya relics. Jamgön Kongtrul explains that, whether elaborate or short, one kind of each of these five dharanis must be inserted in every stupa together with the Kriyayogatantra, Spotless Rays of Light (Skt. Raśmivimalā; Wyl. ’od zer dri med).[2]
