BibTeX
The Karandavyuha Sutra is a primary Buddhist scriptural text, dated to the late fourth or early fifth century CE, so it carries no publication year, consistent with how a primary text of this age is dated here. Its strength is that it is the actual source of the six syllable mantra Om Mani Padme Hum, not a later description of that mantra's origin. Its limit is the ordinary one for a scripture read in a modern edition: this record does not establish which specific manuscript tradition or translation was consulted.
