Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAparityāga (अपरित्याग) refers to “not abandoning”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “When this had been said, the Lord said to the Bodhisattva, the great being Gaganagañja: ‘[...] Son of good family, [the Bodhisattva] who gives a gift in such a way, completely gives up the vices of all living beings by insight and knowledge, but he does not abandon any living being (satva-aparityāga) by the knowledge of expedient means. In a such a way, son of good family, the generosity of a Bodhisattva with a mind set on giving up becomes like the expanse of the sky’”.

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.
