Description

The Ashtasāhasrikā represents one of the most significant philosophical works in Mahāyāna Buddhism, containing eight thousand Sanskrit verses on metaphysical doctrine and Buddhist thought. This groundbreaking edition by renowned scholar Rajendralal Mitra provides the first critical apparatus based on authentic Nepalese Sanskrit manuscripts, making this important text accessible to scholars and practitioners.

The work systematically explores core Mahāyāna concepts including the nature of reality, consciousness, and the path to enlightenment. Originally transmitted through oral tradition and preserved in monastery archives, these discourses offer profound insights into Buddhist epistemology and metaphysical philosophy. Mitra’s scholarly editorial work establishes the authoritative Sanskrit text, enabling deeper understanding of this essential Buddhist scripture.
