AB - The Śikṣāsamuccaya of Śāntideva is an excellent resource for scholars interested in the relationship between Buddhist texts as a significant portion of this seventh century text is made up of quotations from other, often significantly earlier, texts and as such examples of intertextuality occur often within its pages. Taking an instance of intertextuality between a pair of passages from two texts quoted in the eleventh chapter of the Śikṣāsamuccaya, the Ugradattaparipṛcchā-sūtra and the Ratnarāśi–sūtra, as a starting point, this paper will explore the usage of a particular phrase shared in the passages quoted from both texts, tṛṇagulmauṣadhivanaspati (grass, shrubs, medicinal herbs, and forest trees), as it occurs in all available sources. By using resources available through the digitization of Buddhist literature that have only become available to modern scholars in recent years, the instances in which this particular phrase occurs in extant Sanskrit texts can be uncovered with a reasonable degree of accuracy, uncovering that it appears to be used almost exclusively within well-known Mahāyāna Buddhist texts considered to be either vaipulya sūtras or found as part of the Mahāratnakūṭa sūtra collection. This paper collects the instances where tṛṇagulmauṣadhivanaspati occurs as well as similar phrases used in Sanskrit and Pali texts with the goal of creating a preliminary study of the use of this phrase and its variations in Sanskrit and Pali sources that provides some insight into how the texts that employ the phrase tṛṇagulmauṣadhivanaspati may be related and how this may further our understanding of the connection of certain types of texts in Buddhist—and especially Mahāyāna—sūtra literature.
