Introductions:

Dharmadhātustava is a stotra Buddhist Sutra, which is composed by about one hundred śatakas. Since the 11th century, Nāgārjuna, the founder of Mādhyamika, was considered to be the author of Dharmadhātustava. However, late Mādhyamika considered that Dharmadhātustava showed significant influence from the Tathāgatagarbha-tradition.

Dharmadhātustava has one Tibetan translation and three Chinese translations. Many scholars have done much studies on it since 1930s. ItsSanskrit Manuscript was discovered in  Tibet  lately. In this book，Professor Liu makes a critical edition of the Sanskrit Text with the Tibetan and Chinese translations and a Diplomatic Transliteration of the Manuscript and Notes.
