In a much-discussed passage of the Kāraṇḍavyūhasūtra it is taught that Avalokiteśvara produced Maheśvara from his forehead. Maheśvara is introduced as a representative of the degenerative Kali age. In this connection, the Kāraṇḍavyūha quotes a doctrinal verse about the worship of the liṅga, which for a long time has been mistakenly attributed to ‘the Skandapurāṇa’, but whose source can now be identified in the Śivadharmaśāstra. After a comparative discussion of this verse in both texts, the article considers the possible broader implications of this quotation, in particular in relation to the question of the origin of the six-syllabled mantra oṃ maṇipadme hūṃ and its Śaiva counterpart oṃ namaḥ śivāya. The article concludes with some observations on distinctive features that characterise Śaiva versus Vaiṣṇava interactions with Buddhism.

在卡拉瓦维尤哈苏特拉（Kāraṇḍavyūhasūtra）备受讨论的段落中，有人教导说千手观音菩萨从额头生出了Maheśvara。Maheśvara被介绍为退化的卡利时代的代表。在这方面，Kāraṇḍavyūha报价约在崇拜教义的诗句林加，这对于一个很长一段时间已经被错误地归因于“该Skandapurāṇa ”，但其来源现在可以在识别Śivadharmaśāstra。在两个文本中对这节经文进行比较讨论之后，该文章考虑了该引文的可能更广泛的含义，特别是与六音节咒语ṃmaquestionipadmehūṃ的起源有关的问题。以及与之对应的oanamaṃśivāya。本文以一些独特的特征作为结论，这些独特的特征表征了“相爱”与“相约”与佛教的互动。
