Introduction
About this Manuscript
The Mahāyāna-sūtra consists of five chapters, called parivarttas, which describe the continent of Padmadhātu, its king Araṇemi, his priest and 500 sons, as well as its Tathāgata, Ratnagarbha. The text also explores the continent of Padma and the Buddha Padmottara. In addition, it contains numerous stories and legends from the Avadāna tradition. Lord Śākya serves as the primary expounder in the text, responding to the queries of Maitreya and others. This work was translated into Chinese under the title Pei-hwa-king by Dharmarakṣa of the Northern Liang dynasty, circa 502–555. (Mitra, 1882, pp. 285-290).
