(226) ‘We are ascetics [only in name], but do not have the qualities of ascetics’. Hearing (saṃśrutya) the true accusation, they will reject this Sūtra. [...]’”.

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.
