Verse Summary of the Perfection of Wisdom (Skt. Prajñāpāramitāratnaguṇasañcayagāthā[1]; Tib. འཕགས་པ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་སྡུད་པ་ཚིགས་སུ་བཅད་པ་, Wyl. 'phags pa shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa sdud pa tshigs su bcad pa) is a verse summary of the Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines. In Tibetan it is often referred to simply as 'the summary' (Wyl. sdud pa) and is frequently cited. Like the prose 8,000 line text, it consists of 32 chapters.
In the Tibetan tradition, this text is known as one of the so-called 'six mother scriptures' of the Prajnaparamita.
