Translation
(continues from THT 1106)
| a1 | (seize this antarvāsa garb, a soft antarvā)sa. (This [must be] spoken) three (times). [These words must be repeated in Skt.]: [Is] this (your) garb? Say: [Yes, it is] mine. Pay heed to this, venerable one! I, |
|---|---|
| a2 | (N.N.), seize (this) antarvāsa (garb), (a) so(ft) antarvāsa. Thus a second [and] a third time. Thus, too, (you shall) seize the eating bowl. |
| a3 | The Omniscient, the Buddha, has commanded the being to be ordained to seize the eating bowl since (it(?) leads (?) to(?)) immeasurably moral conduct [śīla]. |
| a4 | (Because(?),) for the purity of living [your] life [ājīvapāriśuddhu], [which is] conductive to moral conduct, you shall seize the eating bowl. Just as now [for you] |
| a5 | ([there is] no way of living [your] life [ājīva] [left] among the householders(?)) – ignoble(?) ways of living life are fighting wars(?), ploughing(?), trade [krayavikraya], the crafts, |
| b1 | for/with/to x-ing [and] so on, whatever [other] ways of living life [there are] – just so [there is] (n)o [eating bowl] existing in the beginning-less saṃsāra |
| b2 | (left), from which you have (not) eaten. When you (were) born among the gods, (from) divine golden, beryl, silver [and] crystal vessels |
| b3 | (heavenly(?)) food you were eating. In hell, then, you were eating red-hot iron balls, [and] molten copper |
| b4 | (you were drinking). Of the heretics, (of which) there are ... (96) [different] ways of going from the house, some consume the alms food from the palm[s] of their hand[s], others (from) human |
| b5 | (brainpan[s]) .... (All these) suchlike ways of living life are completely wrong [and] erroneous, since they lead to [new re]births [and] |

Commentary
Philological commentary
| The supplementation and commentaries follow Schmidt 1986: 13-16, 77-78, 132-133. | |
| n3 | About 14 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n4 | The beginning of the line can probably be supplemented with (wlaṃśkeṃ antarvā)s; cf. Schmidt 1986: 132, and commentary to THT 1106: a1. |
| n7 | About 9 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n9 | About 7 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n13 | About 8 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n17 | About 8 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n18 | The first word in this line may perhaps be read as and supplemented to [y](a)kte - hardly [s·]kte and certainly not (mä)kte! The ending of the last word in this line is uncertain. |
| n20 | About 9 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n23 | About 9 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n24 | The last word in this line should probably be supplemented to bha(jānäntane) or bha(jāntane) - or perhaps even be corrected to bhā(jantane)? |
| n30 | About 9 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n33 | About 8 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
| n35 | About 12 akṣaras are missing at the beginning of this line. |
Remarks
| According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v the ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq. | |
| From this leaf 2 large fragments are preserved: one to the right of the string hole, about 6 cm wide; and another fragment from the right side at a distance of about 1 cm from the other, consisting of 5 pieces and about 16 cm wide. The recto is discoloured to a blackish hue rendering the script almost illegible. The leaf number is not preserved. | |
| The original ms. was 29 cm wide and 5.6 cm high, with the string hole 6.5 cm from the left margin. It was written by at least three hands: scribe 1, a beautiful, delicate script, from leaf 1 to 11 a1; scribe 2, distinguished by a number of orthographical idiosyncrasies/errors, from leaf 11 a1 to and including 19; scribe 3 from leaf 20 to end. The final leaves A and B THT 1123 and THT 1124 may have been written either by scribe 2 or a fourth hand. Cf. Schmidt 1986: v, 2-3. | |
| This leaf is in hand 2. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | weṣäle for weṣṣälle. |
|---|---|
| n2 | samanvaharāyuṣmāṃ: sic! and should be corrected to samanvāharāyuṣmāṃ. |
| n5 | eṅkaṣalya for eṅkaṣälya. |
| n6 | ślakṣṇa: it is unclear what is meant by this - perhaps a piece of clothing not made from smaller pieces, but cut from a single cloth? ślakṣṇam antarvāsaṃ is also to be found in Mainz 629, a Skt.-Uy. Karmavācanā text (cf. Maue and Röhrborn 1976: 208ff.), which, however, does not contribute to an explanation of ślakṣṇa. |
| n8 | wasatpāt for wasaṃtpāt; yamaṣälyepi for yamaṣṣälyepi; onolmetse for onolmentse; pañikte for pañäkte; eṅtsi for eṅktsi; yarmä for yarm; papāṣorñe for papāṣṣorñe. |
| n10 | papāṣorñetse for papāṣṣorñentse; ayātośca for ayātośco for ayātośc; śailñentse for śailyñentse; astarñeśc for astaräññeś; eṅkaṣalya for eṅkaṣälya; star-ca for star-c. |
| n11 | ayātośc(a) (for ayātośc(ä)) is a postposition taking the genitive and meaning 'for (the benefit of)' (cf. THT 31 a4). |
| n12 | starca sic! for starcä (= starc). |
| n14 | śailyñenta for śailñenta; yamalyñe for yamalñe. |
| n15 | weta watal(yñe) is a figura etymologica; watal(yñe) is an Abstr. II of wät- ‘fight’. Cf. THT 1105 a5 wata /// and commentary. |
| n16 | The form p·to cannot be supplemented with any certainty. The word would appear to be the TB equivalent of TA pate 'agriculture, ploughing'. |
| n19 | śailyñenta for śailñenta; sportomane for sporttomane. |
| n21 | ñikciyana for ñäkciyana; ysāṣana for ysāṣṣana; ñkäñcana for ñkañcana; mastarkaläṣana for mastarkaläṣṣana; bhajanta for bhājanta. |
| n22 | mastarkaläṣe is an adjectival derivation of so far unattested *mastarkal ‘rock crystal’. |
| n25 | nraiyne for nraine; krepastaṃ for krepasteṃ; mloṣä for mloṣ. |
| n26 | krepastaṃ sic! To be corrected to krepasteṃ, cf. THT 529 b 5 iñcuwaññeṃ krepaste(ntsa). krepaste = ‘ball, globe, Skt. guḍā’. Further attestations: krepaste /// in THT 529 b5 (= Skt. guḍābhiḥ) and krepäste /// in THT 3598 b6. |
| n27 | śawāsta the finite Pt. of the root śu is always formed from the stem śāwā in this ms. |
| n28 | mloṣä from *mlau ‘molten’, PPt. of the root mäl-, ca. ‘be squashed, melt (?)’, which is also etymologically related to German schmelzen ‘melt’ (IE *(s)mel-d-). |
| n29 | pilke ‘copper, Skt. tāmra’. |
| n31 | pärnañets for pärnāññeṃts;lalyñe for lalñe; ālīne for ālyine; warpananträ for wärpanantär. |
| n32 | pärnañets sic! for pärnāñets. |
| n34 | śailyñenta for śailñenta. |
