The Āryāṣṭasāhasrikāprajñāpāramitāvṛttimarmakaumudīnāma (Skt.; commonly known as the Marmakaumudī, "Moonlight of Points"; Tib. 'Phags pa shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa brgyad stong pa'i 'grel pa gnad kyi zla ba'i 'od) is a running commentary (vṛtti) on the Aṣṭasāhasrikāprajñāpāramitāsūtra by Abhayākaragupta (d. c. 1125), a Bengali scholar who taught at the monasteries of Vikramaśīla and Odantapurī and studied under Ratnākaraśānti. It is preserved in the Prajñāpāramitā section of the Derge Tengyur (Toh 3805; RKTST 3150). Its Tibetan translation is credited to the translator Shes rab dpal ba. Abhayākaragupta was a prolific author on both sūtra and tantra, best known for his Munimatālaṃkāra and the Vajrāvalī, a comprehensive synthesis of tantric ritual, and is said to have collaborated with Tibetan translators on more than 130 texts.
