Production by Computer of Indexes to Digha-nikaya and Jataka

牛津巴利典籍学会（PTS）至今已系统地出版了许多重要的早期佛教巴利典籍，包括《加塔卡》和《地迦日迦》。然而，我们可以说，几乎所有这样的文本还没有产生任何完整的词索引。即使将一些索引编译到文本中，它也像往常一样非常不正确，并且包含许多错误。因此，许多学者都希望有完整的佛学词汇索引。我们利用个人电脑开始编制佛教经典的词索引，并于1997年从PTS出版了《地迦-尼迦》的词索引。关于Jataka索引的编写，我们已经完成了前四卷到全部六卷的电子文本的错误检查。其余两卷将在不久的将来编写。在检查了所有文本之后，我们将能够生成这个经典的非常大的单词索引。此外，我们还完成了以下研究：(1)1995年至1998年，我们已经出版了四部重要的佛经，即《法经》、《经经》、《正经》和《经经》的帕德指数和反帕德指数。(2)这些书出版后，我们收到许多要求将这四个索引合并成一卷。因此，我们在2000年出版了Kosei出版社的合集。(3) 1999年，我们还从中央学术研究所（The Chuo Academic Research Institute）出版了《Ayarafiga》、《Suyagada》、《Uttarajjhaya》、《Dasaveyaliya》和《Isibhasiyaim》五部重要的Jam经典文本的字词和反义词组合索引。(4)研究了《萨达玛本达里卡梵文手抄本统计分析》。(5)部分所得结果已上载于我们的WWW主页（网址：http://www.sendai-ct.ac.jp/~ousaka/）。

The Pali Text Society (PTS, Oxford) has systematically published many important Pali canonical texts in early Buddhism so far, including Jataka and Digha-nikaya. However, we could say that any complete word index have not yet been produced to almost all such texts. Even if some index was compiled to the text, it was, as usual, very incorrect and contained many errors. Thus many scholars have desired the complete word index for the study of the Buddhism.By using a personal computer we started to compile the word indexes to the Buddhist canonical texts, and have already published a word index to the Digha-nikaya in 1997 from PTS. With respect to compilation of the index to the Jataka, we have already finished checking errors in the electronic texts of the first four volumes to the whole six volumes. Remaining two volumes may be prepared in near future. After checking all texts, we will be able to produce the very large word index to this canon.Furthermore, we have accomplished the following studies : (1) We have already published a pada index and reverse pada index for four important Buddhist canons, the Dhammapada, the Thera-gatha, the Their-gatha and the Sutta-nipata from 1995 to 1998. (2) After the publication of these books we received many requests so as to merge these four indexes into one volume. Thus we have published the combined book from Kosei Publishing in 2000. (3) We have also published from The Chuo Academic Research Institute the combined word and reverse-word indexes to the five important Jam canonical texts, the Ayarafiga, Suyagada, Uttarajjhaya, Dasaveyaliya and Isibhasiyaim, in 1999. (4) We have studied on Statistical Analysis of Sanskrit Manuscripts of Saddharmapundarika. (5) Some of these obtained results have been uploaded on our homepage of WWW (URL : http://www.sendai-ct.ac.jp/~ousaka/).
