Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra厂辫补谤峁ａ弓补惫测补 (啶膏啶ぐ啷嵿し啷嵿啶掂啶�, 鈥渢ouch鈥�) according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter XXVIII). Accordingly, 鈥渨hy condemn touch (蝉辫补谤峁ａ弓补惫测补)? Touch is a flame that gives rise to all the fetters (蝉补峁儁辞箩补苍补); it is the root that binds the mind. Why? The other four instincts the need to see, to hear, to feel and to taste are each limited to a part of the body, but the instinct to touch is spread over the entire body consciousness (办腻测补惫颈箩帽腻苍补); its place of arising (耻迟辫补迟迟颈蝉迟丑腻苍补) being vast, it produces a lot of passions (蝉补峁単补), and the attachment to which it leads is tenacious鈥�.
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.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
