Lopez also notes that the majority of Tibetan Buddhist texts have regarded the translation of the mantra as secondary, focusing instead on the correspondence of the six syllables of the mantra to various other groupings of six in the Buddhist tradition.
Lopez märgib samuti, et enamik Tiibeti budistlikke tekste peab mantra tõlget teisejärguliseks, keskendudes selle asemel 6-silbilise mantra vastavusele teiste budistliku traditsiooni erinevate kuueliste rühmadega.
