Abhisamayalankaraloka (T. མངོན་པར་རྟོགས་པའི་རྒྱན་སྣང་བ་) is a commentary on prajnaparamita by the Indian scholar Haribhadra.
The Princeton Dictionary states:
- This long commentary, summarized in his Abhisamayālaṃkāra-vivṛti, correlates the 273 verses of Maitreyanātha's Abhisamayālaṃkāra with the specific corresponding sections in the Aṣṭasāhasrikāprajñāpāramitā (“Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines”).[1]
This text was translated into Tibetan by Rinchen Zangpo in the eleventh century.[1] Ngok Loden Sherab also worked on a translation.[1] (It is not clear if Ngok Loden Sherab revised the earlier translation, or developed a new one.)
The full title for the text is:[2]
- Sanskrit: Āryāṣṭasāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā-vyākhyānābhisamayālaṃkārāloka-nāma
- Tibetan: ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་བརྒྱད་སྟོང་པའི་བཤད་པ། མངོན་པར་རྟོགས་པའི་རྒྱན་གྱི་སྣང་བ།
- English: An Explanation of the Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines, An Illumination of “The Ornament for Clear Realizations”
