Description

No abstract given. Here are the first relevant paragraphs:

The Dasabhūmika-sūtra consists of two sections, the prose and the verse. The prose section was edited and published by Dr Johannes Rahder in 1926; the present text contains the verse section under the joint editorship of Susa-and-Rahder.
      When Dr. Rahder was staying in Japan in 1929, he visited Kyoto during the summner and met Mr. Hokei Idzumi, the then professor of Sanskrit at Otani Buddhist College. When Dr Rahder learned that I was also engaged in the study of the verse section of the Daśabhūmika, he suggested that we might work together so as to produce the best possible text with our resources. He added that he would send his manuscript as soon as [it was] ready. Surely enough, as he promised, it began to come in several sections to Professor D. T. Suzuki, editor of the Eastern Buddhist, early in 1931. He expressed the desire to see the text published in the Eastern Buddhist when I finished collating it with the result of my study. The verse section of the Daśabhūmika-sūtra here published is thus the joint labour of Dr. Rahder and myself. (Susa, preliminary notes, 335)

Daśabhūmikasūtra. (T. Sa bcu pa'i mdo; C. Shidi jing/Shizhu jing; J. Jūjikyō/Jūjūkyō; K. Sipchi kyǒng/Sipchu kyǒng 十地經. In Sanskrit, "Scripture of the Ten Stages"; the definitive scriptural account of the ten "grounds" or "stages" (daśabhūmi) at the upper reaches of the bodhisattva path (mārga). In the sūtra, each of the ten stages is correlated with seminal doctrines of mainstream Buddhism, as well as with mastery of one of a list of ten perfections (pāramitā) completed in the course of training as a bodhisattva. The sūtra appears as one of the chapters of the Avatamsakasūtra [chapter 31] and also circulated as an independent text. (Source: "Daśabhūmikasūtra." In The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism, 220.
