While at Nalanda, Shantideva composed the Shikshasamuccaya, a "Compendium of Buddhist Doctrines", which drew together citations from a vast number of sutras and texts. It emphasizes the moral dimension of the Bodhisattva Path, whilst the Bodhicarya-vatara focuses on the Path from the standpoint of consciousness.

The book was translated from the sanskrit by Cecil Bendall and W.H.D. Rouse.
