English Translations of Ratnaguṇasaṃcayagāthā

Greetings everyone!

I wished to know about the English translations of the “Ratnaguṇasaṃcayagāthā” sutra…

It is supposed to be the 84th chapter of the Aṣṭa-dasa Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra (PP sūtra in 18000 lines). I am able to get hold of an English translation of that online.

I know Akira Yuyama has annotated it heavily. He has a separate monograph on its grammar, I think, but I do not have access to that.

But there may be a translation by Edward Conze. Can anyone confirm?

Any others that exist of the complete gāthā/sūtra?

Thanks
Sananda

Conze translation of Ratnagunasamcaya Gatha is in his The Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines and its Verse Summary

The online version is available here:

But this Conze translation is somewhat inaccurate and mixed with his own view of emptiness (sunyata), there is a translation by others like this (unfortunately it’s just the first 2 chapters of the text):

Should be Aṣṭasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra
