 The Golden Garland is driven in no small measure by an agenda dedicated to discrediting Dolpopa's Perfection of Wisdom commentaries. This is evident from a comparison of Dolpopa and Tsongkhapa's sources and views. While Dolpopa excoriates Ārya Vimuktisena and Hari Bhadra and says they belong to the degenerate age, propounding doctrines harmful to golden age Buddhism, the Golden Garland privileges the commentaries by Ārya Vimuktisena and Hari Bhadra. Dolpopa says the two Detailed Explanations of the Perfection of Wisdom Sūtras (Sk. Bṛhaṭṭīkā, Tib. Gnod 'jom) by “the foremost, Great Middle Way master Vasubandhu” stand as the primary scriptural authority for the Great Middle Way doctrine, superior even to the partial truths revealed by Nāgārjuna. The Golden Garland disputes that Vasubandhu is the author of the two Detailed Explanations, and says, regardless of their author, they are simply restatements of Nāgārjuna's Middle Way. Finally, Dolpopa propounds a doctrine that holds the basis, path, and result are eternally the same, and all else is thoroughly imaginary, but the Golden Garland is certain that such a view is wrong, and directly cites a passage from Dolpopa's work, though without naming its author, saying, “since no other great path-breaker, [i.e., founder of an original philosophy] besides him has ever asserted [what Dolpopa says], learned persons are right to cast out [what he says] like a gob of spit” (Sparham 2007-2013 vol. 1, 425).
