In Sanskrit; translation and commentary in Newari; prefatory matter in English and Newari. Title on added t.p.: Bodhicharyāvatāra.
Note 78 in Fredrik Liland's Master's thesis, "The Transmission of the Bodhicaryāvatāra: The History, Diffusion, and Influence of a Mahāyāna Buddhist Text," reads "Recently V. Divyavajra (1986) published what seems to be a Sanskrit edition with Newari translations of the BCA and the BCAP. This has not been available to me so far, but would indeed be of interest in further work on the BCANew." (see p. 26)

The main subject of the text is bodhicitta, the altruistic aspiration for enlightenment, and the path and practices of the bodhisattva, the six perfections (pāramitās).

Written by Prajñākaramati (950–1030), the Bodhicaryāvatārapañjikā is considered to be the most important Indian commentary on the Bodhicaryāvatāraby Śāntideva. This commentary explains the words in the verses (tshig 'grel), with additional commentaries on difficult points. Excluding The Dedication Chapter, it has only nine chapters.
