The Mette edition of the Karandavyuha presents differences between the Gilgit Manuscripts and the Samasrami edition (reprinted in the Vaidya edition). This paper focuses on the stories about the six-syllable formula (om manipadme hum) and the mandalas about Avalokitesvara in those editions, and points out that as far as the discussed portions are concerned, the latter edition seems to present a more stressed expression of the six-syllable formula and more tantric aspects than the former.
