成唯識論了義燈 1.7

1.7

Beyond two hundred years, the Bodhisattvas Nāgārjuna and Āryadeva both appeared in the world in Southern India. Bodhisattva Nāgārjuna composed the Dàzhìdù lùn explaining the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā, and composed the Akutobhayā in full ten thousand verses. The Mūlamadhyamakakārikā was produced from within the Akutobhayā, having five hundred verses, as well as the Dvādaśamukha Śāstra and so on. Nāgārjuna's disciple Bodhisattva Āryadeva composed the Śataśāstra and so on. As extensively explained in the Transmission of the Dharma Pitaka and the Biographies of Nāgārjuna and others, in order to refute the Hīnayāna and the various tīrthikas' attachments to self and attachments to phenomena, they spoke of them as empty; at that time, many became attached to emptiness.
