1. The Sanskrit title as given in the Degé Kangyur version of the text is āryakauśikaprajñāpāramitānāma, but the ending -nāma is grammatically incorrect. The Sanskrit title given above, āryakauśikaprajñāpāramitā, follows the grammatically correct form given in the Stok Palace Kangyur version of the sūtra. In the Central Asian Sanskrit manuscript, the title listed at the end is kauśaka nāma prajñāpāramitā (Conze 1956, p. 118. See also Bianchini 2020, pp. 103-106). The inclusion of “nāma” in the title of the extant Sanskrit manuscript helps to explain why some Tibetan Kangyurs, such as the Degé Kangyur, likewise included “nāma” in the Sanskrit title (although at the end of the title), and accounted for this with “zhes bya ba” in the Tibetan title.
