| a1 | ... even as ... |
|---|---|
| a1+ | (as nobody can) measure the (wh)ole earth, (it is impossible ?) to take the measure of his wisdom. |
| a2 | (||) In the tune Tsunt: || Which is his wisdom, considering that he has the good marks, which is his beauty, it is an excellent sight without match. |
| a2+ | Even if all beings in the world were Brahmā gods, all these will not be worthy of bowing with head and top to his foot soles. |
| a3+ | Having heard that, the cakravartin-king Śaṅkha with his seven jewels and with all the kings of Jambudvīpa takes the venerable Maitreya as teacher. |
| a4 | From then on he comes to see the venerable Maitreya every day; |
| a4+ | he listens to his Law with all heart and soul. |
| a5 | And he behaves according to it. Therefore, there is an increase of all virtues for him along with the kingdom. || All have left. || |
| a5+ | In the Maitreyasamiti-nāṭaka, the eleventh act with the name (Guru)darśana ["Appearance of the Teacher"] has come to an end. || |
| a6+ | || Thereupon, at another time, the bodhisattva Maitreya, having descended from his jewel palace together with a large entourage, like the divine king [descends] from his sky palace, with vehicles adorned with jewels, adorning, as it were, the whole world with his splendor, he leaves the city of Ketumatī on the golden road, through the eastern gate. |
| a8 | || Having seen that, the city guardian, the Yakṣa Śodhana, says to Upaśodhana: "Look, brother, at this splendid excellence of Maitreya. || In the tune Apratitulya: || |
| b1 | Surrounded by rays of light spanning a fathom all around, sitting on the throne with Sumanā, like the moon together with [the constellation] Rohiṇī, he is turning a cintāmaṇi-parasol over his head, truly surpassing the ornament of ornaments with his own ornaments. |
| b2 | Horses of noble breed drive his golden chariot as if floating straight. The golden street is filled up, as it were, by adorned chariots, horses and elephants, illuminated by the entourages of the bodhisattva. |
| b3 | Music sounds, it's raining flowers. In the palaces, in the three-halled houses, high on the windows, adorned women fall down, as it were, |
| b3+ | and jump up from the ground [again]. |
| b4 | They p(repare) flowers and perfumes. They make the añjali-gesture. Some are laughing, some are calling: "May you look at us only once! |
| b5 | Oh lord, you have appeared for the sake of everyone. Do not reject us! Accept the flower!" Some revere him, the good ones. Some praise [him]: "All the virtues are indeed accumulated in you. |
| b5+ | It is from you that all the good things become manifest." |
| b6 | Some praise the wife of the bodhisattva: "You have truly realized good merit, which has given you this lover. These good merits of yours, we revere. |
| b6+ | We revere this good lover. |
| b7 | May we obtain that love!" The women are seen speaking, revering, letting it rain flowers, threads of gold illuminate their face and their breast. |
| b7+ | The street is trembling under the crowd of people. |
| b8 | The adorned houses of the city of Ketumatī are trembling like necklaces. Upaśodhana says: "Now I am also amazed. Thus ... |

| a2+ | Even if all beings in the world were Brahmā gods, all these are worthy to bow with the crown of their head at his feet. (Peyrot 2013b: 271) |
|---|---|
| a3+ | Als er das gehört hatte, nimmt sich der Cakravartin-König Śaṅkha mit den sieben Kleinodien und (mit) allen Königen von Jambudvīpa den würdigen Maitreya zum Lehrer. (Schmidt 1974: 395) |
| a4+ | Von da an kommt er [scil. der Cakravarti-König Śaṅkha] Tag für Tag, den würdigen Maitreya zu sehen, (er) hört von ihm das Gesetz aus ganzer Seele [und] mit [gutem] Willen und richtet dementsprechend seinen Wandel ein. (Schmidt 1974: 343) |
| a8+ | Sieh, Bruder, diese Besonderheit [seines] Glanzes! (Schmidt 1974: 190) |
| b1 | Der Cintāmaṇi-Sonnenschirm dreht sich über seinem Kopfe. (Schmidt 1974: 282) |
| b2 | Edle Rosse ziehen seinen [scil. Maitreyas] goldenen Wagen, der gleichsam zu schweben scheint. (Schmidt 1974: 384-5) |
| b3 | In den Palästen und Triśālas [Häuser mit drei Hallen], hoch [oben] in den Fenstern, fallen die geschmückten Frauen gleichsam nach unten. (Schmidt 1974: 104) |
| b5 | Alle Tugenden haben sich [sind] in dir vollständig versammelt. (Schmidt 1974: 77, 305) |
| b5+ | Einige preisen [ihn mit den Worten]: "Alle Tugenden sind in dir vollständig versammelt, alle guten Dinge sind gerade bei dir [wtl. von dir her] offenbar". Einige preisen die Gattin des Bodhisattva [mit den Worten]: "Du hast fürwahr {?eifrig} gutes verdienstvolles Werk getan, das dir d[oes]en Geliebten gegeben hat." (Schmidt 1974: 170-1, 435) |
| b7+ | Die Straße bebt unter der Menge der Wesen. (Schmidt 1974: 122) |
Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and references have been transferred from the "Text and Reference Database of the Tocharian A Language" (Gerd Carling Lund University) (funded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation and SCAS). | |
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| Fragment of a manuscript which includes A 251 - A 294 (cf. Geng et al. 2004a: 64-5). |
Parallel texts
| MaitrSiŋgim, Taf. 38 |
Philological commentary
| This fragment contains the end of the eleventh and the beginning of the twelfth act of the Maitreyasamitināṭaka; the colophon of act XI is to be found in lines a5-6, the twelfth act begins in line a6. An Uy. parallel is MaitrSiŋgim, Taf. 38 (Tekin 1980: 111-3), where Taf. 38 r. 26f = line a1 here, and Taf. 38 v. 22-29 contains the colophon (= lines a5-6 here) . See also Pinault 1999: 199-201. | |
| n1 | There are roughly 25 akṣaras missing (cf. Sieg and Siegling 1921: 128). Inside the lacuna one can make out the lower part of two ligatures, the second one containing <k>. |
Linguistic commentary
| n2 | The oblique form (as opposed to the nominative ) is unexpected, especially since the containing relative clause is coordinated with another relative clause containing . However, the reading is certain. |
|---|---|
| n3 | The segmentation cem mā =ṣāṃ makes better sense in this context. This was misunderstood by the Uyghur translator, who did not recognize the negation and read cemm āṣāṃ. (cf. Pinault 2015e: 92-93). The Turkic form used as the equivalent of āṣāṃ, i.e. tägim (38 v 9), is a hapax. The expected form is tägimlig. |
