A Study of Sanskrit Manuscript in Saddharmapundarika-sutra

这项研究的目的是对佛经的梵文手稿和中文译本进行细微的语言学对比分析，这是一个个案研究，并形成初步的练习，目的是为更好地理解和破译困难的中文佛经提供手段。考虑到未来文献学将普遍使用计算机进行比较分析，为了达到我们的目的，我们承担了将我们的原始材料，即萨达哈波达里卡的梵文手稿，正法华经和苗法莲花经输入计算机的任务，从而建立了一个数据库。直到去年，我们已经强制输入梵文手稿(Unrai Wogiwara‘s Critical Edition)和达马拉克萨的Sho-ho-ke-kyo。今年，我们已经完成了藏文译本《释迦牟尼经》的录入工作，并将几部梵文《释迦牟尼经》手稿的比较研究结果，部分刊登在《莲花经综合研究所杂志》第16卷上，题目为《柯提-毗萨瓦达纳-帕里卡玛-卡萨玛》。和Bhaisajya-Purva-Yoga-parivarta“，载于1990年Rissho大学研究生院公报第7卷，标题为”Kitti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha(1)Matsunami第102(1)号，藏于东京大学图书馆“。本学年，作为上述两篇论文的后续工作，我们在1991年《理顺大学研究生院公报》第8卷上发表了题为《梵文女士of Kitti-visayavadana-parikarma-katha(2)Matsunami No.2(L)，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.
