Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraSāgaranāgarājaduhitā (सागरनागराजदुहिता), the daughter of Sāgara, king of the Nāgas, is a Bodhisattva of the tenth level, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter VII). Note: Although female and only eight years of age, the daughter of Sāgara, king of the Nāgas, had acquired anuttara-samyaksaṃbodhi, which constitutes the state of Buddha. As the Bodhisattva Prajñākūṭa and Śāriputra refused to believe that a woman could attain this high rank, she suppressed the signs indicating her sex in herself, showed herself endowed with male organs and transformed herself into a Bodhisattva who went to the south.
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.
