The Sanskrit titles are rendered differently in the versions in different Kangyurs: Amṛtavyāharaṇa (Degé), Amṛtadāna (Narthang), and Amṛtavarṇa (Stok Palace). According to the colophon, the Tibetan translation was produced by the Indian preceptor Prajñāvarman and the Tibetan translator Yeshé Dé. It can therefore be dated to the late eighth or early ninth century ce in central Tibet. The text was cited by the Tibetan translator Kawa Paltsek, who was a contemporary of the translators² and is listed in the Denkarma catalogue,³ which confirms that the translation of this sūtra into Tibetan must have been completed before 812 ce. - [Previous: intro.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.other.amrtavyaharana*bo~en-84000.intro.2) - [Next: intro.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.other.amrtavyaharana*bo~en-84000.intro.4) - [Up: intro](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.other.amrtavyaharana*bo~en-84000.intro) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.other.amrtavyaharana*bo~en-84000.intro.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.other.amrtavyaharana*bo~en-84000.intro.3) · Pramāṇa
