Description
This is a Mahāyānasūtra text that contains 32 chapters, discussing the Buddhist concept of wisdom (Prajñā), the advantages of studying the text, and the possible obstacles in acquiring knowledge. It also describes the difficulties of finding a good teacher and a trained disciple (P.L. Vaidya, 1960. p. XX). This text holds immense significance in shaping the development of both the Mādhyamaka and Yogācāra schools of thought. "Not good Ms. There is a brass plate with a picture of Prajñāpāramitā(?) on the wooden plate. On the other side of the wooden plate is written "Prajñāpāramitāya nirvikalpa namas tubhyam Prajñāpāramite miti." on the first page" (Matsunami, 1965. p. 23). It seems that in the post-colophon section, this manuscript mentions a person named Śrī Devasiṃha and his genealogy, including references to Jñānasiṃha and Dhanadeva as his descendants. The post-colophon section of the manuscript is incomplete.
