A STUDY OF DIGMAGA'S APOHA THEORY

这项研究项目的目的是将迪格纳加的《帕玛纳萨穆卡亚夫提》(=PSV)的第一章翻译成带完整注释的日文译本。为了达到上述目的，我们定期聚在一起阅读和翻译PSV及其唯一可用的印度金佛陀释文Tika(=PST)。作为我们研究的结果，我们得出以下方法论上的认识。就PSV而言，我们可以遵循相同的理解方法，通过从碎片和两个相当不可靠的藏文翻译来重建可能的原始梵文文本。我们的合作者之一Waso先生已经在Muni Jambuvijaja的开创性尝试的基础上完成了整个PSV的重建。他和Katsura已经或多或少地完成了全文的日文翻译，就PST而言，我们发现上述方法不太有效。在这种情况下，我们必须应用E.Steinkellner几年前提出的方法来处理丢失了梵语原文的佛教般玛拿书。

The aim of this research project was to produce the fully annotated Japanese translation of the Firth chapter of Dignaga's Pramanasamuccayavrtti (=PSV). In order to pursue the above aim, we got together regularly to read and translate the PSV and its only available Indian commentary Tika (=PST) of Jinendrabuddhi.As the result of our research we came to the following methodological awareness.As far as PSV is concerned, we can follow the same method of understanding by means of reconstructing the possible original Sanskrit text from the fragments and the two rather unreliable Tibetan translations.Mr.Waso, one of our collaborators, has already finished reconstructing the whole PSV basing upon Muni Jambuvijaja's pioneering attempts.He and Katsura have more or less finished translating the whole text into Japanese, which will be published in the future.As far as PST is concerned, we discovered the above methodology did not work very well.In this case we must apply the methodology proposed by E.Steinkellner some years ago with regard to the Buddhist pramana texts whose Sanskrit originals have been lost.
