rañjana is mostly used for printing hindu and buddhist scriptures and literature in sanskrit and buddhist hybrid sanskrit used by the newar community. rañjana is also in current use for printing “high status” documents (wedding invitations, certificates, etc) in nepal in the newar language and for newar language book titles. in mahayana and vajrayana buddhist traditions, it is famously used to write various mantras including the "om mani padme hum" mantra of avalokiteśvara, the mantra of tara: "om tare tuttare ture svaha", and the mantra of manjusri: "om ara pa cana dhi." the script is also used in hindu scriptures.
