The following text also belongs to the tradition of Old Translations. It can be presented as a single text of eight sections, or as eight different texts. This is due to the fact that each of the sections included in it has its own name in Sanskrit, which is not typical. However, in some collections of texts from the tradition of Old Translations, such splitting of texts is sometimes found. Thus, we can divide this text into eight sections, each of which has its own name.
14-25. Maha-Amrita. Higher texts
Both in the collection of the Canon and in the collections of texts from the tradition of Old Translations, this text can be presented as several texts. At the same time, each of the texts (eight different sections) can be considered as separate writings. Translators are not listed in any of the sections or in the colophon of the text. However, the very name of the text can be deduced from the following praise. The text, being a short form is explained by Vimalamitra, transferred by Jnanakumara. Location - ga 202a3-222a5.
