The Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra (Chinese: 摩訶般若波羅蜜多經; pinyin: Móhē Bōrě Bōluómìduō Jīng; literally: "Large Perfection of Wisdom Sutra") was an encyclopedic collection of Prajñāpāramitā texts, usually attributed to Nāgārjuna, translated into Chinese by Xuanzang and his assistants.[1] Alternatively, this name refers to the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, meaning 25,000-line Perfection of Wisdom Sutra.[2]
