Adhyardhaśatikā Prajñāpāramitā (T. shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa’i tshul brgya lnga bcu pa; C. Shixiang bore boluomi jing/Bore liqu fen 實相般若波羅蜜經/般若理趣分). “The perfection of wisdom in 150 lines”.[1] The title of a Prajnaparamita sutra in tantric style.[2]
R. E. Emmerick states:
- It contains fifteen chapters, fourteen of which are spoken by a number of Buddhas, who expound the various methods of Prajñāpāramitā. Each expository chapter is summarized by means of a mystic syllable. The text survives in the Sanskrit original and in translations: into Chinese (six translations and two comment; extant), Tibetan, Mongol, and Khotanese. The Khotanese version was one of the earliest Khotanese texts to be studied. It was edited by E. Leumann (in Zur nordarischen Sprache und Literatur [Schriften der Wissenschaftlichen Gesellschaft in Strassburg, 10. Heft], Strassburg, 1912, pp. 92-99) and translated by E. Leumann in the Wogihara Festschrift (Taishō Dai-gaku Gakuhō, Tokyo, 1930, pp. 47-87).[2]
