Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAdveṣa (अद्वेष) refers to “non-aversion”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja said to the Brahmā Prabhāvyūha: “[...] (1) Further, Brahmā, desire is a word for non-desire. Why? Because desire is the essence of non-desire. Thus everything is included in the essence of desire: (2) Aversion is a word for non-aversion (adveṣa). Why? Because aversion is the essence of non-aversion. Thus everything is the essence of aversion. [...]”.

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.
