Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraAgramati (अग्रमति) is the name of a Bodhisattva Bhikṣu that lived during the time of Buddha Siṃhanādarāja according to the Mañjuśrī-avadāna. The Dharma teacher Agramati, clinging to the purity of the precepts (śīlaviśuddhi), practiced the twelve dhūtas, had acquired the four dhyānas and the formless absorptions (ārūpya-samāpatti). His disciples were of weak faculties (mṛdvindriya) and clung to distinguishing the pure (śuddha) practices from the impure (aśuddha) ones; their minds were always disturbed by qualms.
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.
