Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāDṛṣṭimūla (दृष्टिमूल) refers to the “root view (that the transitory collection [is a real self])”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[Vigour (vīrya), similes]—[...] Just as open space raises herbs, trees, and crops without root and basis, in the same way, the vigour of the Bodhisattvas generates the qualities of the Buddha, not being established in the root view that the transitory collection [is a real self] (satkāya-dṛṣṭimūla). Just as open space is all-pervasive while there is no transmigration of nature (asaṃkrānti-lakṣaṇa), in the same way, the vigour of the Bodhisattva is in accordance with all good qualities while there is no transmigration of nature”
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
