F R A G M E N T OF AN U N K N O W N MANUSCRIPT OF THE SADDHARMAPUN. .DARiKA

FROM THE N. F. PETROVSKY COLLECTION

by

G. M. BONGARD-LEVIN and E. N. TYOMKIN Moscow Leningrad

An unidentified fragment of a manuscript, written in upright Central Asian Br~hmi, is kept in the manuscript collection of the Leningrad Branch of the Institute of Asia of the USSR Academy of Sciences

P (Code: SI 6-~). The text is written in black Indian ink on a piece of

yellowish paper 22 x 9.5 cm. The spacing is 1.5 cm. The size of char- acters is within the 1 x 1 cm limits, as a rule. The po.thi-type folio is only partially preserved and torn diagonally from the left to the top

right angle. Along with other Buddhist texts this fragment was handed over to

the former Asiatic Museum of the Russian Academy of Sciences by N. F. Petrovsky, who had acquired it in Kashgar in the 1890's.

The text reads as follows:

FRAGMENT OF AN UNKNOWN Saddharmapun..dafika-Ms. 273

In our opinion the text is a part of the Saddharrnapu~.dar~ka (chapter

v0. The editors of the Saddharmapu.n.darika were not familiar with this

fi'agment, which is a part of an unknown manuscript, and did not in-

elude it in their edition. The editors, H. Kern and Bunyiu Nanjio, along with other manuscripts,

used the Kashgar manuscript of this text from the N. F. Petrovsky col-

lection. 1 However, Prof. H. Kern, the well-known D u t c h scholar, overlooked some materials, among them folio 142 coinciding in its

content with the fragment under review. H. Kern and Bunyiu Nanjio pointed out the absence of this folio in the Kashgar manuscript. 2 We

were fortunate enough to discover, among the undescribed materials of the N. F. Petrovsky collection, a folio of the manuscript whose number was not preserved but which, as we have succeeded in establishing, is

precisely folio No. 142 which was absent from the Kashgar manuscript? The size of the folio is 18 • 57.5 cm. The text is written in black

Indian ink on a dark-yellow primed ruled piece of paper containing

seven lines on each page. The size of characters is normally 1.5 • 1.5. The distance between the rules 2.5 cm. The left edge of the manuscript is

damaged. Several initial characters are absent on each line. P

Fragment SI 6-~' which, as has been mentioned above, is a part of an

unknown manuscript of the Saddharmapu.n.dar~ka, and folio No. 142 of the Kashgar manuscript from the N. F. Petrovsky collection provide

new readings for the verse part of the beginning of Chapter VI of the Saddharmapun..dar~ka. I t appears relevant here to collate these texts

with the critical edition of H. Kern and Bunyiu Nanjio taking into

consideration the later Japanese edition as well? In spite of some differences between the readings of the Kashgar texts

and those of the existing editions, the Kashgar manuscripts add a number of new, heretofore unknown variants important for the study of the

1 See Saddharmaput.~d.ar~ka (= Bibliotheca Buddhica, X), edited by Prof. H. Kern and Prof. Bunyiu Nanjio (St.-Pt., 1912), p. V. 2 Saddharmapu.n.darfka, p. 145. 3 Besides this folio, the undescribed materials of the N. F. Petrovsky collection contain more than 100 unnumbered folios of the Kashgar manuscript which, un- fortunately, escaped the attention of H. Kern and other scholars who studied the text. 4 Wogihara U. and Tsuchida C., Kaitei Bonbun Hokeky6, Saddharmapu.nd.arika- sgttram, Romanized and Revised Text of the Bibliotheca Buddhiea Publication (Tokyo, 1934-1935). Photomechanically reprinted in 1958. Thanks to the courtesy of Prof. J. W. de Jong we could familiarise ourselves with the necessary excerpt of the Japanese edition of this text. We are very grateful also to Mr. Akira Yuyama for his remarks on the readings of the text and on the notes.

274 G.M. BONGARD-LEVIN and E. N. TYOMKIN

Saddharmapu.n.darika. The new variants are particularly valuable be- cause the Kashgar manuscripts of the Saddharmapu.nd. ar~ka are much older than the Nepalese ones which were chiefly used by Prof. H. Kern and Prof. Bunyiu Nanjio in their edition. They contain a number of Prakritisms and cases of wrong Sanskritisation which are important for the study of the original text of the Saddharmapu.n.darTka. The in- fluence-of Apabhram. ~a on the language of the Kashgar manuscripts can be traced. According to Prof. H. Kern, the Kashgar versions are more original than the Nepalese ones?

It is quite evident that the scientific study of the Saddharmapun..darika should be based on the Kashgar manuscript from the N. F. Petrovsky collection and on the facsimile edition which the authors of the present note intend to publish in the nearest future. The first publisher of the text, Prof. H. Kern, considered the fulfilment of this task most desirable.
