Treatise on the Requisites of Awakening
बोधिसंभार[क] (Bodhisaṃbhāra[ka]); chin. 菩提資糧論
Verses on the "provisions" of the bodhisattva path: the perfections, especially wisdom, called the mother of bodhisattvas, compassion and skilful means, and the need not to realise one's personal nirvāṇa prematurely while there are beings to free.

Authorship note
Lindtner includes it among the authentic works; it survives only in Dharmagupta's Chinese translation (7th c.), with a commentary by Īśvara, and other specialists are more cautious.
