Arthaviniscaya Sutra
The Arthaviniścaya Sūtra ("Gathering the Meanings" or "Analysis of the topics") is a Buddhist Abhidharma type work which shows Sautrāntika/Sarvāstivāda affiliation. It mostly consists of matrices or lists of key early Buddhist teachings such as the four satipatthanas and the stages of anapanasati.[1]

A commentary was written on this text, by one Vīryaśrīdatta (770 CE), known as the Arthaviniścaya-sūtra-nibandhana.[2] A separate commentary is preserved in Tibetan, the Artha-viniscaya-tika (author unknown, Tibetan Tanjur. PTT, vol. 145.)[3][4]
Sanskrit, Tibetan and Chinese versions have survived.[5] Tibetan version is titled དོན་རྣམ་པར་ངེས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ཆོས་ཀྱི་རྣམ་གྲངས་ and can be found in Kanjur (e.g. vol. 72 of Derge edition, text 17).[6]
