Translation
(continues from A 320)
| a1 | Doubt had risen [in] him concerning that. The Buddha, the master, [is] alive briefly ... |
|---|---|
| a1+ | Or cannot the master fulfill the service of Buddha? |
| a2 | The doubt concerning this totally ... (like) in the Kṛtayuga-time the beings ... |
| a2+ | just so through the marvel of sunrise all beings had grown gentle and glad then. |
| a3 | Therefore the Buddha, the master, the wonder (?) ... |
| a3+ | Accordingly, (the rays) [furnished] with [a] mind as it were, turned |
| a4 | [and] once again took up their position in the body of the Buddha, god of gods. |
| a4+ | Rising from [his] meditation, (then out of) pity (the Buddha, the master), with a sounding, ringing, lovely Brahmasvara-voice he called upon Ānanda |
| a5 | and said to him: |
| a5+ | Am I able, oh Ānanda, in 45 years’ time, to fulfill the entire service of a Buddha? |
| a6+ | Thereupon Ānanda, imbued, as it were, with joy [and] longing, looking with [his] (lotus)coloured, gentle eyes, smiling, at the face of the god of gods, the Buddha, says: |
| a7 | || In the C.-tune: || Very long [are] 45 years (oh lord,) (very) long [are] 45 years, [my] father. |
| a7+ | If (all) the beings that [are] trapped in the four continents had all to be redeemed by you in one [single] moment, you would redeem ... |
| a8 | 1. |
| a8+ | You will not for a single moment give up their redemption. |
| b1 | Oh for the great ability of the Buddha rank. 2. What sort of an excited (evil being) it would have to be, which does not at all times have the wish for the Buddha rank. |
| b1+ | For asaṃkhyeyas [of years] for sure it would have to burn in hells. |
| b2 | Never, either, should a being turn away from the Buddha rank. (3.) |
| b2+ | (Thereupon) the worthy Ānanda, remembering his own turn(ing) away from the Buddha rank, virtually feeling embarrassed in front of the beings of the 5 births, [his] heart compressing, as it were, pained by great remorse, with tears in his eyes looking at (the Buddha), speaks: |
| b4 | || In the Ā.-tune: || If I had known before, brother, that the Buddha rank is so excellent, and that for each moment, for as many moments as there are in three asaṃkhyeyas, I would have had to work three asaṃkhyeyas and one hundred kalpas in the Avīci [hell] with glowing body, then I would never have turned from my wish for the Buddha rank. |
| b6 | 1. (If I), for the sake of all beings of the Saṃsāra, as a share for each one of them (had known) suffering for 10 million of asaṃkhyeyas only with [my] Avīci-body, I would (not) have turned from my wish. |
| b7 | For very good, very great [is] the Buddha rank. Oh [ye] good (beings), do not turn [away] from the Buddha rank! 2. |
| b7+ | Thereupon ... the beings, belonging to boroughs, [having seen] this wonderful and amazing (event) of the Buddha Lord of Lords ... |
Other
| a4 | Unmittelbar darauf kehrten (die Strahlen), gleichsam mit Geist [versehen], um [und] nahmen wieder in dem Körper des Göttergottes Buddha Platz. (Schmidt 1974: 429-30) |
|---|---|
| a4+ | Aus der Kontemplation sich erhebend, rief (alsdann aus) Mitleid (der Buddha, der Meister), mit schallender, tönender, lieblicher Brahmasvara-Stimme den Ānanda [und] sprach zu ihm: (Schmidt 1974: 380) |
| b1 | Was muss das für ein gedanken(loses, böses) Wesen sein, das nicht ständig den Wunsch nach der Buddhaschaft hegte! (Schmidt 1974: 150) |
| b3 | ... sich gleichsam schämend vor den Wesen der fünf Geburtsklassen ... (Schmidt 1974: 161, fn. 2) |
| b4+ | If I had known before, brother, that the Buddha rank is so excellent, and that for each moment, for as many moments as there are in three asaṃkhyeyas, I would have had to work three asaṃkhyeyas and one hundred kalpas in the Avīci [hell] with glowing body, then I would never have returned from my wish for the Buddha rank.

Commentary
Remarks
| Transcription and translation are based on Carling et al. 2009. | |
| 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). | |
| This text probably immediately follows A 320. |
Philological commentary
| The translation is largely based on Sieg 1952: 32-34, and Carling et al. 2009. | |
| n2 | This tune has 4x12 syllables, rhythm = 4/4/4. |
| n5 | This tune has 20/22/10/15 syllables, rhythm 5/5/5/5 + 8/7/7 + 5/5 + 8/7. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | śonäṃtwaṃ from *śoṃ 'continent, cf. TB Pl. Nom. Obl. śconaṃ 'id.' (Couvreur 1954b: 260). |
|---|---|
| n3 | Couvreur 1954b: 260 suggests to link ṣom k[ṣ]aṃ to the following mā nu cesmi tärkā(l tsälpālune) naṣt and to translate “you, also, will not fail for one moment to redeem them”. |
| n4 | Couvreur 1954b: 261 has paṃ 'lover' = 'beloved'? |
| n6 | Couvreur 1954b: 260 supplements the first word of b8 as (āpṣā)trikāñ, suggesting to translate as 'ājīvika' or 'craftsman'. |
