What are those twelve? [...] (5) bringing living beings to maturity is unbreakable; (6) the purification of the Buddha-fields is unbreakable; (7) indefatigability in existence (saṃsāra-aparikheda) is unbreakable; (8) non-satisfaction for the root of good is unbreakable; [...]”.

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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
