Sūtrasamuccaya (T. mdo kun las btus pa མདོ་ཀུན་ལས་བཏུས་པ་; C. Dasheng baoyaoyi lun 大乘寶要義論), or Compendium of Sutras, is a text attributed to Nagarjuna that consists of passages from sixty-eight mainly Mahayana sutras. The selected passages extol the Mahayana path.[1]

This text is notable because it provides scholars with evidence of the Mahayana sutras that were extant during the time of Nagarjuna.[1]

The following Mahāyāna Sūtras are quoted in the Sūtrasamuccaya:[2][3]

A text of the same name is attributed to Shantideva, but this text is no longer extant.
