Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra滨苍诲谤补艣颈濒补驳耻丑腻 (啶囙え啷嵿う啷嵿ぐ啶多た啶侧啷佮す啶�) is one of the 惫颈丑腻谤补蝉 of R膩jag峁沨a, according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter V. Note: Indras膩laguh膩, or more likely, Indra艣ailaguh膩:鈥擳he reading, Indras膩laguh膩 鈥渃ave of the Indras膩la tree鈥�, has, as evidence, the P膩li form, Indas膩laguh膩, the inscription at B膩rhut (2nd century B.C.) idas膩laguh膩, the inscription of Tch鈥檃ng a han. On the other hand, the reading Indra艣ailaguha, 鈥淚ndra鈥檚 rock cave鈥�, is attested by the Sanskrit fragments, by the Chinese transcriptions and translations.
When the Buddha was in this cave, Sakka (Indra) came to ask him a series of questions that are recorded in the Sakkapa帽hasutta. We have several versions: Sanskrit version in Waldschmidt; P膩li version in D墨gha, II; Chinese translations in Tch鈥檃ng a han. The Chinese pilgrims who visited this cave found fragments of the Sakkapa帽hasutta engraved on the rock: Fa hien. The visit of Indra has been represented on the monuments at B膩rhut, at S膩nc墨; at Bodhgay膩; at Gandh膩ra; at Mathur膩.
Mahayana (啶す啶距く啶距え, mah膩y膩na) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many 蝉奴迟谤补蝉 of which some of the earliest are the various Praj帽膩p膩ramit膩 蝉奴迟谤补蝉.
