About the Book:
This book, authored by Bimla Churn and published by New Bharatiya Book Corporation, offers a comprehensive summary of The Mahavastu, an essential text of Mahayana Buddhist literature. The Mahavastu is a key encyclopaedia of Buddhist legends and doctrines, written in a mixture of Sanskrit, Pali, and Prakrit.

The text serves as an essential resource for those studying Mahayana Buddhism, providing clarity on its legends and doctrines while navigating the intricacies of its mixed language.
This hardcover edition, released on 03-02-2011, provides a valuable and accessible approach to one of the foundational texts of Mahayana Buddhism, making it an indispensable reference for scholars and students.
