Asṭasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā

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. The first folio has a picture of the Prajñāpāramitā. The last paper is later adition (Matsunmi, 1965. pp. 20-21). It could be possible that the image on the first folio is a depiction of Avalokiteśvara.
