Description
The Yogācārabhūmaubodhisattvabhūmivyākhyā (D 4047) is an extensive commentary on the Bodhisattvabhūmi authored by Sāgaramegha/Samudramegha (c. eighth century CE). This work is a crucial resource for clarifying difficult passages in the root text, and Artemus Engle's modern English translation of the Bodhisattvabhūmi relies on it heavily.

The Bodhisattvabhūmi (literally "The Stage of a Bodhisattva") stands as one of the most comprehensive and systematic expositions of the Mahāyāna Buddhist path from classical India. Formally the fifteenth section of the massive Yogācārabhūmi corpus, this foundational treatise provides an encyclopedic manual detailing the entire spiritual trajectory of a bodhisattva—from the initial arising of the "mind of awakening" (bodhicitta) to the ultimate attainment of perfect buddhahood.
Traditionally attributed to Ārya Asaṅga (c. fourth–fifth century CE) through revelation from the future buddha Maitreya, the text likely represents a compilation of earlier materials (c. 230–300 CE) that predates the fully developed Yogācāra philosophical system. Its existence in multiple Chinese translations from the early fifth century onward confirms its early date and widespread influence across Asian Buddhism.
