This study is a preliminary research which is designed to review tri-svabhāa found in Mahāāasūālamkāa as one of the earlier arguments of vijnāti-māra. Mahāāasūālamkāa and another, Yogāāabhūi are reportedly much questioned about their chapter configurations, backgrounds and authors and rather much correlated with each other.
For the study, first, this researcher reviewed previous studies about the chapter configuration and author of Mahāāasūālamkāa . The researcher agreed with Dr. Suguro Sinzou's assertions that Mahāāasūālamkāa was written by Maitreya as a representative Bodhisattva and compiled mainly by Asaṇa and that the annotation of Mahāāasūālamkāa , or Sūrāaṃkāa-bhāṣya was written by Vasabandhu in accordance with teachings by Asaṇa. Concerning the chapter configuration, the researcher accepted Hayasima Osamu's view with substantial reasons for the acceptance.
Second, the researcher discussed the chapter configuration, background and author of Yogāāabhūi , and relations between a part of the written work, Bodhisattva-bhūi and Mahāāasūālamkāa .
Considering previous studies, the researcher dealt with a hypothesis that Bodhisattva-bhūi was written by only one author and at the same time another that the work was created by plural authors.
Finally the study described in detail Japanese researchers' previous studies showing that Bodhisattva-bhūi was written prior to Mahāāasūālamkāa .
