Translation
(continues from THT 1109)
| a1 | solicit you venerable one [as] upādhyāya. (May you venerable one be my upādhyāya.) With (you) venerable one [as] upādhyāya I will be ordained. This |
|---|---|
| a2 | [must be] spoken three [times]. Are you able [to be the] upādhyāya for N.N.? ([Yes,] I am able!) Are you, Vimalayaśa, able [to be] the instructor [anuśāsaka] for Yaśakāma? |
| a3 | [Yes,] (I) am able! Thereupon the one who shall be instructor shall lead the novice-to-be-ordained out of earshot, [but] let him stand within eyeshot. |
| a4 | Thereupon the one who shall be instructor shall return, enter [and] take his seat [again]. Thereupon the karmavācaka shall |
| a5 | speak exactly the[se] words in Indic: Let the venerable communi(ty hear!) Who, desiring the ordination of N.N. is (able) [to be] instructor, |
| b1 | to instruct N.N.? (Thereupon) the one who shall be (instructor) shall declare [his] readiness. Thereupon again the karmavācaka |
| b2 | shall say exactly these words in Indic to (the community): Let the venerable community hear! One desiring the ordination of N.N. is able to |
| b3 | instruct N.N. If the present moment suits the community and [if it is] the will of the community, that the community appoints N.N. [as] instructor |
| b4 | who shall instruct N.N., [then] this [is] the proposition: (Let) the venerable community (hear)! This Yaśakāma [i.e. Vimalayaśa], supporter of the ordination of Yaśa[kāma] |
| b5 | is able to instruct this Vimalayaśa [i.e. Yaśakāma]. (The community) appoints (Vimalayaśa [as] instruct)or who will instruct Yaśakāma. |

Commentary
Philological commentary
| The supplementation and commentaries follow Schmidt 1986: 17, 134. | |
| n3 | The gap contains about 10 akṣaras. |
| n4 | See THT 1109: b5 and commentary. |
| n9 | On tumeṃ ... klyauṣalye ikemeṃ pkante aśalle lkalyñe ikene stamäṣṣale cf. Bhī 15 a5f. tataḥ paścāc chravaṇopavicāraṃ vijahayya darśanopavicāre ... (sthā)payitavyā. |
Remarks
| According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq. | |
| This leaf is preserved almost in full width, with only a smal strip, about 0.5-1 cm high, missing in the centre. The left half consists of 3 pieces and is about 13 cm wide. The right half, consisting of 2 pieces, is about 16 cm wide. To the right of the string hole lines 1-2 are missing over a stretch of 9 and 4 cm respectively. | |
| 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, 4 | |
| The leaf is in hand 2. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | śaulasontä for śaulasont; śaulasotsa for śaulasontsa; upādhyāyetsa for upadhyāyentsa; wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt. |
|---|---|
| n2 | The last word before the gap can probably be supplemented to twe. upadhyāyetsa sic! for upādhyāyeṃtsa. |
| n5 | weṣṣäle for weṣṣälle. |
| n6 | lkalyñe for lkālñe. |
| n7 | utsahāma should be corrected to utsahāmi. anuh·ke sic! to be corrected to anuśāsake. lkalyñe sic! for lkālyñe. |
| n8 | anu(śā)sake nesalyepi wasaṃ(n)pāt yamalye ṣanmireṃ ... aśalle ... stamäṣṣale: this is an impersonal gerundive construction with a dependent oblique case. The agent noun is in the genitive. On such constructions cf. Thomas 1952: 22ff. |
| n10 | stamäṣṣale for stamäṣṣälle; pästä for päst; yänmaṣṣäle for yänmaṣṣälle; ṣmale for ṣmalle; karmapāyä for karmapāy; weṣeñcatse for weṣṣeñcantse. |
| n11 | stamäṣṣale sic! for stamäṣṣäle. |
| n12 | yentukäñe for yentukäññe; weṣle for weṣṣälle. |
| n13 | yentukäñe is an adjectival derivation of yentuke ‘Indian’. yentukäñe pele ‘in Indic’ [lit. ‘in an Indian/Indic way’] belongs with the groups of words used adverbially which are very close to pseudo-bahuvrīhis: cf. e.g. A 340 b3 ñäkciṃ pal ‘in a heavenly manner, of the heavenly kind’, PK AS 7C b4 ṣeme pälsko päklyauṣso ‘Listen attentively (lit. with a unified mind)!’. On this matter cf. Bernhard 1958: 189f. yentuke is a very early loan from Iranian. On its significance in the study of Iranian-Tocharian exchange of vocabulary, cf. Schmidt 1986: xviiiff. |
| n14 | yamaṣäle for yamaṣṣälle; karmavācaketse for karmavācakentse. |
| n15 | yeṃtukäñe for yentukäññe; sāṅkäścä for sāṅkäśc; weṣäle for weṣṣälle. |
| n16 | toyk\k sic! |
| n17 | On yeṃtukäñe cf. commentary to line a5 above. |
| n18 | anuśāsaka must be corrected to anuśāsakaṃ. |
