Sāratamāpañjikā [alt. Sārotamā] (T. 'phags pa shes rab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa brgyad stong pa'i dka' 'grel snying po mchog). A commentary on the Aṣṭasāhasrikā prajñāpāramitā by Ratnākaraśānti.

David Seyfort Ruegg (1977) states:

One of Ratnākaraśānti's main works on the Prajñāpāramitā—the Sārottamā (or Sāratamā ?), a Pañjikā on the Aṣṭasāhasrikā, which until recently was known only by its Tibetan version in the Bstan 'gyur—has now been recovered in an incomplete Sanskrit manuscript.[1]
