A STUDY OF DIGMAGA'S APOHA THEORY

本研究项目的目的是制作Dignaga的Pramanasamuccayavrtti（=PSV）的第五章的完整注释的日语翻译。为了实现上述目标，我们定期聚在一起阅读和翻译PSV及其唯一可用的印度评论Jinendrabuddhi Tika（=PST）。作为我们研究的结果，我们得出了以下方法论意识。就PSV而言，我们可以遵循同样的理解方法，通过从碎片和两个相当不可靠的藏文中重建可能的原始梵文文本，翻译。我们的合作者之一Waso先生已经根据Muni Jambuvijaja的开创性尝试完成了PSV的整体重建。他和Katalina已经基本完成了将全文翻译成日语的工作，并将在未来出版。就PST而言，我们发现上述方法并不十分有效。在这种情况下，我们必须应用E.Steinkellner几年前提出的关于佛教经文的方法其梵文原件已经丢失。

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.
