摘要德干西部以其壮观的石刻佛教建筑和广泛的佛教寺院建筑群而闻名。其中许多建筑是在萨塔瓦哈纳时期被拆除的，这是印度西部第一个大规模的国家政体。为了了解佛教寺院制度是如何融入这一时期的社会、政治和经济组织的，有必要开始考虑农产品和手工艺品的生产和分配是如何构成的，以及佛教寺院机构和政治当局如何参与这些模式。具体地说，我研究了佛教、贸易和国家形成之间的假设联系，并认为没有简单的因果关系可以辨别出来。
Abstract The western Deccan is well‐known for its spectacular rock‐cut Buddhist architecture and its extensive Buddhist monastic complexes. Many of these structures were cut during the Satavahana period, the first large‐scale state polity in western India. In order to understand how Buddhist monastic institutions were integrated into the social, political, and economic organization of this period, it is necessary to begin to consider how production and distribution of produce and craft goods were structured and how both Buddhist monastic institutions and political authorities were involved in these patterns. Specifically, I examine the hypothesized link between Buddhism, trade, and state formation and suggest that no simple causal relationship can be discerned.
