summary:
  en: The Samādhirājasūtra (“King of Samādhis Sūtra”) is an early Indian Mahāyāna scripture that addresses themes such as emptiness, bodhisattva conduct, mendicancy, past lives, and future prophecies. Its teachings on emptiness were widely cited by figures like Candrakīrti and Śāntideva. The term samādhi in this context denotes not merely meditative absorption, but a comprehensive path encompassing ethical conduct, motivation, and realization; the sūtra enumerates over 300 such qualities (84000). This text seems to be written by different scribes, given the shift in handwriting in the earlier folia. In the middle of the manuscript, the writing is compact and condensed running around the right margins.
