 Fortunately there is more information about Nāgārjuna’s works than there is about his life but the situation is still far from ideal: it is not easy to come up with a precise list of texts Nāgārjuna composed. This is partly due to the fact that different authors bearing the name “Nāgārjuna” might have lived during different periods of the development of Buddhist thought in India, and partly due to the tendency of attributing newly composed works to the great authorities of the past. For the present purposes, however, we can divide Nāgārjuna’s works into three main groups (further discussion can be found in Ruegg 1981, Lindtner 1982). In the list I give here the ascription of the works mentioned to Nāgārjuna is largely uncontested. References to reliable translations into English are provided in the list of primary sources in the bibliography.
