A Treatise on the Paramis is Acariya Dhammapala's systematic exposition of the ten perfections a bodhisatta cultivates, written as part of his commentary on the Cariyapitaka and surviving in a second, abridged form in the subcommentary to the Brahmajala Sutta. This record cites Bhikkhu Bodhi's standard English translation, published by the Buddhist Publication Society as Wheel Publication 409/410/411 and available as a standalone work. As the Cariyapitaka's own commentary it is authoritative for how the tradition explains each perfection and how the ten relate to one another, including the resolution (adhitthana) perfection.
