This paper presents a new edition and translation of the chapter Mālinī-vastu as preserved in the Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit text Mahāvastu, together with a grammatical commentary and some notes on the structure of this chapter. The edition is based on the oldest manuscript of the Mahāvastu, the so-called ms. Sa, which often offers better readings than those proposed by Émile Senart in his editio princeps of the text from 1882–1897.

《摩诃婆须陀》中摩利尼（摩利尼-婆须陀）的故事

Śaṅkara is traditionally considered the author of an exceptionally large number of works. Indological scholarship has attempted to filter out some of these works within traditional philological and historical frameworks. Many were, however, taken for granted to be authentic, and no serious research into their authenticity has been conducted. This paper attempts a computational stylometric approach to establish the authenticity of prose commentaries attributed to Śaṅkara. The General Imposters (GI) framework appears to be the most suitable existing method developed for the purpose of verifying authorship. The GI calculates the statistical distance between certain texts’ features and estimates whether the disputed text is closer to the candidate author than to a set of texts that may not have been composed by him. The paper also presents a machine-based method for separating the words and resolving the sandhi in the Sanskrit text, crucial for the procedure. The success rate in verifying authors of undisputed texts appears to be acceptable enough to proceed to the next step, where 18 prose commentaries traditionally attributed to Śaṅkara are subjected to the GI verification procedure. The result conforms to the most conservative assessments of Śaṅkara’s authorship; GI verified the authenticity of the commentaries on the principal Upaniṣads (with the exception of the commentary on the Śvetāśvataropaniṣad) and on the Bhagavadgītā. Besides these, commentaries on the Nṛsiṃha-(pūrva)-tāpanīyopaniṣad and the Adhyātmapaṭala were, rather unexpectedly, also successfully verified as genuine works of Śaṅkara.

On the Authenticity of Prose Writings Attributed to Śaṅkara

论归于商羯罗名下的散文作品的真实性

Studies on negation in the school of Vyākaraṇa have focused on the early period of its development, especially on the interpretation of prasajya and paryudāsa types of negation provided by early commentators starting with Patañjali and elaborated on by Bhartṛhari. The post-Bhartṛhari period requires thorough research when it comes to the theory of meaning and cognition proposed by Indian grammarians. The present article analyses the interpretation of negation proposed by Kauṇḍabhaṭṭa in the Vaiyākaraṇabhūṣaṇasāra and shows it against the background of theory of negation that had been developing for centuries within the school of Vyākaraṇa.

考达巴塔在《吠檀多饰珠经》的难义释疑中对否定的观点

This article aims to show that the term vīthī, the tenth in the daśarūpa list of plays found in the early dramatic treatises, does not refer to a play but to a number of small-scale dramatic scenes. As such, the vīthī is an exception in the list, which otherwise is made up of fully-fledged plays. However, as a collection of scenes, it does form a group with numbers 8 and 9, the prahasana and bhāṇa, each of which has two lives, namely as complete plays and as scenes within plays. The vīthī plays we have are all late reconstructions based on the general characteristics mentioned in the dramatic treatises. In some of the treatises the daśarūpa list is extended by the lāsya, another term designating a number of minor dramatic scenes which involve singing and dancing. It will be argued that the lāsya – as well as another set of minor dramatic types, the uparūpakas – came to be included into the dramatic theory through its occurrence within the nāṭikā, a type of play that is presented as a mixture of the nāṭaka and prakaraṇa, numbers 1 and 2 in the daśarūpa list, and was consequently not counted separately. It will furthermore be shown that the daśarūpa list consists of three clearly distinct groups, namely of 1–2 (nāṭaka, prakaraṇa and supernumerary nāṭikā) and 8–10 (prahasana, bhāṇa and vīthī), separated by a group of five types of play (3–7) dealing with battle and its aftermath. Of the latter five no early, classical examples have come down to us; apparently their topics have fallen outside the sphere of interest of the kāvya literary tradition.

This paper explores one aspect in the evolution of “buddha-nature” (busshō) in Japan within the context of Buddhist teachings regarding women’s salvation. “Buddha-nature”, symbolised by the lotus throne where buddhas and bodhisattvas reside, was fused with the notion of menstrual impurity due to syncretism with Shintō beliefs. The introduction of the Bloody Pond Sutra (Ketsubon-kyō) solidified discussions on menstruation’s origin, attributing menstrual impurity to women’s “mind” poisons. Practical manifestations of this complex idea included wearing chest talismans. This research sheds light on the evolving “Buddha-nature” concept in Japan and its implications for women’s spirituality.
