basic research on Buddhist terminology in Sanskrit, Tibetan, Mongolian and Chinese based on Mahavyutpatti

本研究项目为梵文、藏文、蒙古文和汉语佛学术语基础研究，旨在为梵文、藏文和蒙古文的研究收集基础资料。公元9世纪，西藏的许多翻译家和学者编撰了《大藏经》，收录了约9500个梵文和藏文单词或短语。这是当时佛教最基本、最全面的词汇表。后来，可能是在17世纪或18世纪，每一项都附加了蒙古语对应词和中文译本。这项研究项目的研究人员在10年前出版了梵文《大弥陀罗》的批评版、藏文和蒙古文版本。但从那时起，许多新的材料和研究成果相继问世。因此，他们计划对旧出版物进行修改，并对该文本进行新的批评版。本研究项目是对新的批评版的基础初步研究。调查人员输入了新出版或发现的藏文版本，输入了四个梵文版本，将这些材料建立了一个数据库，并编制了蒙古文和藏文的逐字索引。特别是这个蒙藏索引对于使用蒙古语的学者来说是一个非常有用的工具。它发表在这个研究项目的报告中。研究人员计划在几年内制作一个新的马哈维尤帕蒂评论版。
