Compendium of Dharanis

Compendium of Dharanis (Tib. གཟུངས་འདུས།, Wyl. gzungs 'dus) is a collection of 250 dharanitexts (Toh 846-1093) in the Dharani section of the Kangyur. They are short [[sutra] or tantra texts used mainly for ritual purposes, mostly structured around a dharani formula in Sanskrit, its uses and the story of its origin. The Compendium of Dharanis also includes canonical aspiration and dedication prayers as a conclusion to the compendium (Toh 1094-1108).
