=== Commentaries === There are various Indian and later Chinese commentaries on the Prajñāpāramitā sutras, some of the most influential commentaries include: * ''[[Mahāprajñāpāramitāupadeśa|Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa]]'' (大智度論, T no. 1509) a massive and encyclopedic text translated into Chinese by the Buddhist scholar [[Kumārajīva]] (344–413 CE). It is a commentary on the ''Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā''. This text claims to be from the Buddhist philosopher [[Nagarjuna]] (c. 2nd century) in the [[Colophon (publishing)|colophon]], but various scholars such as [[Étienne Lamotte]] have questioned this attribution. This work was translated by Lamotte as ''Le Traité de la Grande Vertu de Sagesse'' and into English from the French by Gelongma Karma Migme Chodron.<ref name=":2">Lamotte, Etienne; Gelongma Karma Migme Chodron.

It is traditionally attributed as a revelation from the Bodhisattva [[Maitreya]] to the scholar [[Asanga]] ([[Floruit|fl.]] 4th century CE), known as a master of the [[Yogachara]] school. The Indian commentary on this text by [[Haribhadra (Buddhist philosopher)|Haribadra]], the ''[[Abhisamayalankaraloka]]'', has also been influential on later Tibetan texts. There is also another Indian commentary to the AA by Vimuktisena. * ''Śatasāhasrikā-pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikāṣṭādaśasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā-bṛhaṭṭīkā'', often attributed to [[Vasubandhu]] (4th century).<ref>Karl Brunnhölzl "Prajñāpāramitā, Indian "gzhan ston pas", And the Beginning of Tibetan gzhan stong" (2011) 197p. https://www.istb.univie.ac.at/cgi-bin/wstb/wstb.cgi?ID=78&show_description=1</ref> * ''Satasahasrika-paramita-brhattika'', attributed to [[Daṃṣṭrāsena]]. * [[Dignāga]]'s ''Prajnaparamitarthasamgraha-karika''. * [[Ratnākaraśānti]]'s ''Prajñāpāramitopadeśa''.
