I have a similar question about the Samādhirāja-sūtra.

Is the Samādhirāja-sūtra, a mahAyAnA sUtra or does it occur in the nikAyas or somewhere else? What is the historically accepted date of this sUtra? Does this sUtra precede nAgArjuna or is it a post-nAgArjuna sUtra?

  • What is the reason for the strange edits? I just followed itrans.

  • I struggled to read the questions. I assume this forum is in the English language.

  • But sUtra, nAgArjuna etc are not English names. So I used itrans. If you struggled to read the question, how were you able to edit it by removing itrans?

  • Then you should learn itrans and not unnecessarily edit questions. Looks like the people who answered here had no issues.

  • Thank you. Is it pre-nAgArjuna or post-nAgArjuna?

  • Wiki says dating to c. 2nd century CE. Wiki says Nāgārjuna (c. 150 – c. 250 CE).
