A Study of Sanskrit Manuscript in Saddharmapundarika-sutra

本研究项目的目的是对佛经梵文手稿和汉译佛经进行细致的语言比较分析，这是一个个案研究，是初步的练习，目的是为了更好地理解和破译汉语佛经的困难。考虑到计算机在文献学比较分析中的应用将在未来变得普遍，作为实现我们目标的一种方法，我们已经承担了将我们的原始材料，即《萨达玛达里卡》、《正法化经》和《妙法连化经》的梵文手稿输入计算机，从而建立一个数据库的任务。到去年为止，我们已经完成了《梵文手稿》（Unrai Wogiwara的批判版）和达摩罗萨的《shoho -ke-kyo》的输入。今年，我们完成了《佛典》藏文译本的输入工作，即《Dam pahi chos pad ma dkar po zhes bya ba theg pa chen pohi mdo》（边缘版）。此外，我们从几个梵文手稿的比较检查中得到的部分结果发表在1989年的《法华经综合研究学院杂志》第16卷，标题为“Kirti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha女士和Bhaisajyaraja-purva-yoga-parivarta”，以及1990年的《利正大学研究生院公报》第7卷。标题为“梵文MS. of Kitti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha (1) MATSUNAMI No. 102(1)，保存于东京大学图书馆”。本学年，作为上述两篇论文的后续工作，我们在1991年《立正大学研究生院公报》第八卷上发表了题为《梵文MS. of Kitti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha (2) MATSUNAMI No. 102 (l)，保藏于东京大学图书馆》的论文。

The aim of this research project is to carry out minute linguistic comparative analysis of Sanskrit manuscript and Chinese translations of the Saddharmapundarika-sutra, which is a case study, and which forms preliminary exercise for the purpose of bringing about means for better understanding and decipher= ing of difficult Chinese Buddhist texts. Considering that the usage of computers in comparative analysis in philology will become prevalent in the future, as a method to tackle our objective, we have taken up the task of in-putting our source materials, namely Sanskrit manuscript of Saddharmapundarika, Sho-ho-ke-kyo (Cheng-fa-hua-ching) and Myo-ho-ren-ge-kyo (Miao-fa-lien-hua-ching), into a computer, thus making a database.Till last year, we have compuleted the in-putting of Sanskrit Manuscript (Unrai Wogiwara's Critical Edition) and Dharmaraksa's Sho-ho-ke-kyo. This year, we have finished in-putting the Tibetan translation of the Saddharmapundarika, namely Dam pahi chos pad ma dkar po zhes bya ba theg pa chen pohi mdo (sde dge Edition).Besides, a part of the results which we got from the comparative examination of several Sanskrit manuscripts of the Saddharmapundarika were published in the 16th volume of the Journal of Institute for the Comprehensive study of Lotus Sutra in 1989, under the title, "Kirti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha ms. and Bhaisajyaraja-purva-yoga-parivarta", and in the 7th volume of the Bulletin of the Rissho University Graduate School in 1990, under the title "SANSKRIT MS. of Kitti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha (1) MATSUNAMI No. 102 (1), kept in Tokyo University Library". This academic year also, as a work following the above mentioned two papers, we have published a paper entitled "SANSKRIT MS. of Kitti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha (2) MATSUNAMI No. 102 (l), kept in Tokyo University Library" in the 8th volume of the Bulletin of the Rissho University Graduate School in 1991.
