Study of the Correspondence of Early Buddhist Literatures

研究早期佛教的主要材料是小乘佛教在东南亚传播的帕利经，数量上第二位的是中国的阿伽玛斯。关于早期佛教各教派典籍的对应表，赤沼早在七十年前就出版了《中国阿伽玛斯与帕利尼迦耶的比较目录》一书。但正如书名所示，这本书几乎只提到了汉语阿伽玛斯和帕利尼迦耶之间的对应关系，通常缺乏对应关系，尤其是在藏文译本和《目录》发行后出版的印度文文本（大多是梵文片段）中。因此，《目录》需要大量增补，或者说需要进行根本性修订。本研究的目的是在提供科学研究补助金期间尽可能从根本上修订目录。研究结果是根据国内外的研究，包括我的发现，将中国的《三昧经》（大正，第99号）与另一部中国的《三昧经》（大正，第100号）以及用帕利、梵语、其他印度语言、汉语和藏语写成的经文对应起来。《赤沼星表》中，中国的《六书》（大正，第99号）占有很大的一部分。《目录》中发现的主要增补文献如下：帕利注释;在印度、巴基斯坦、尼泊尔、中亚等地相继发现的与佛教有关的梵文手稿和铭文;用梵文或另一种印度语言Ardhamagadhi书写的印度教和耆那教文本;以及后来的佛教文本，如Abhidharma和Yogacara文本，其中引用或评论了Samyuktagama。

The main material for the study of early Buddhism is the Pali canon, which the Theravada sect has transmitted in Southeast Asia, and the second one in quantity is Chinese Agamas. Regarding a correspondence table among early Buddhist canons of various sects, Akanuma already published the book entitled "The Comparative Catalogue of Chinese Agamas and Pali Nikayas" seventy years ago. But as the title shows, the book indicates almost only the correspondence between Chinese Agamas and Pali Nikayas, often lacking in correspondence found especially in Tibetan translations and naturally Indic texts (mostly Sanskrit fragments) published after the issue of the Catalogue. Thus the Catalogue requires large addition, or rather fundamental revision. The present study was intended to revise the Catalogue fundamentally as much as possible within the period when the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research is supplied. The result of research, which is based on domestic and foreign studies including my findings, is a correspondence table of every sutra of the Chinese Samyuktagama (Taisho, No. 99) with another Chinese Samyuktagama (Taisho, No. 100) and texts written in Pali, Sanskrit, other Indic languages, Chinese and Tibetan. The Chinese Samyuktagama (Taisho, No.99) occupies a big part in the Akanuma's Catalogue. The main addition to correspondences found in the Catalogue is as follows: Pali commentaries; Sanskrit manuscripts and inscriptions related to Buddhism which have been discovered in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Central Asia, etc. one after another; the Hindu and Jaina texts written in Sanskrit or another Indic language Ardhamagadhi; and later Buddhist texts such as the Abhidharma and Yogacara texts which cite or comment the Samyuktagama.
