PREFACE The Abhisanaya-6lacrr;.kbrak n b m prujri6pdromi1o~~adejaSZstra (abbreviated as A A ) consists of 273 memorial verses. The sanskrit text has been printed three times, by Steherbatsky and Obermnillcr I), by G. Tucei ') and by U.

The Tibetan translation has been invaluable tl~roughout,and I have studied it in the dition of the Bibliotheca Buddhica. A translation of the text by itself would be quite unintelligible. I have therefore added in brackets the necessary esplanntions. They are derived from two sources: 1. The PrajZZpZramitC-stitra itself. IIcie we hnvc r our guidance the recast version of the PuZcavimSafihasrik6-projZcil,6rn1?ait6(abbreviated ns P), which supermposes the framework of the AA on the text ol the Sutra, and adds, after each section, the appropriate hcarling from the AA. Only the first nbh~snmaya of this text has so far been printed )', and for the remainder I
