This article examines the Tibetan version of the  Ṣaḍakṣara-vidyā , an apotropaic text extracted from the  Śārdūlakarṇāvadāna , and discusses its position in early Buddhist  rakṣā  literature as well as the effects of its  mantra , which was employed for healing purposes. The diseases, sores, and different kinds of fever against which the  mantra  shall be efficacious are given in a long list, which became a common feature throughout Buddhist protective texts. It is the sound substance of the  mantra , which brings about the desired effect only when recited correctly. Thus the precise wording of the spell is essential, and this article therefore offers next to a full translation of the Tibetan  sūtra  also an edition of the  mantra s.
