Treatise of One Verse
*Ekaślokaśāstra; chin. 壹輸盧迦論
A single verse on the absence of intrinsic nature, followed by a prose commentary developing it against the objections of other schools, particularly the one holding that things are permanent because they have intrinsic nature. It illustrates the scholastic use of Madhyamaka arguments in sixth-century China.
