A Study of the Existent Vedic Traditions

这项研究的目的是收集关于印度吠陀仪式和文字传统的信息和文献，并通过在吠陀传统流传的地方进行广泛的田野调查，研究现存吠陀传统的现状。在这三年中，我们进行了八次实地考察，特别是在最南端的喀拉拉邦和泰米尔纳德邦，重点是雅珠吠陀的瓦杜拉学派和撒玛吠陀的杰米尼亚学派。我们调查了这两个流派的整个传统，收集了它们的历史运动、地理分布、与邻近流派的关系等信息，并追踪和拍摄了大量用梵语和当地语言写成的吠陀文献手稿，包括未知的手稿。作为本次研究的主要成果，我们撰写了一份研究报告，包括对瓦杜拉学派和杰米尼亚学派手稿的传统和描述性目录的调查：--以新手稿为基础的瓦杜拉学派基本文本调查。(日语)--瓦杜拉学派手稿目录。(日语)-记录目前的Jaiminiya传统。(英文)-2002-2004年间追踪和拍摄的《斋戒》手稿目录。(英文)

This study aims to collect the information and documents about Vedic ritual and textual traditions in India, and to study the present situations of the existent Vedic traditions, through extensive fieldwork in the places where Vedic traditions have been handed down. We have carried out fieldwork eight times during the three years, especially focusing on the Vadhula school of the Yajurveda and the Jaiminiya school of the Samaveda in the southernmost states, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. We have investigated the whole of the traditions of both schools, and collected information on their historical movements, geographical distributions, relations with neighboring schools, etc., and have traced and photographed a large number of manuscripts of Vedic texts, including unknown ones, written in Sanskrit and in local languages. As a main fruit of the present study, we have made a research report which consists of the following surveys of the traditions and descriptive catalogues of the manuscripts of the Vadhula and Jaiminiya schools :-A Survey of the basic texts of the Vadhula school on the basis of new manuscripts. (in Japanese)-A Catalogue of the acquired manuscripts of the Vadhula school. (in Japanese)-Documenting the Present Jaiminiya Traditions. (in English)-A Catalogue of the Manuscripts of the Jaiminiya Samaveda traced and photographed in 2002-2004.(in English)
