Translation

(continues from THT 1110)

a1Whoever [of the] venerable ones agree (to appoint) Vimal(ayaśa [as] instructor), who shall instruct Yaśakāma, these [be] silent.
a1+Whoever do not agree, these shall speak.
a2The (com)munity has appointed Vimalayaśa [as] (instructor), who shall instruct Yaśakāma.
a2+The community agrees for they [are] silent.
a3Thus you shall assert this. (Thereupon) the one to be instructor shall go out
a3+[and] shall interrogate the novice to be ordained [with regard to] any obstacles [antarāyikā dharmāḥ]:
a4(Listen, venerable one!) This [now] for you [is]) the time to speak the truth. This [is] the time to speak according to the facts.
a5Therefore I will ask you, how it is with you, [and] thereupon ([you] shall speak:) what is, (as it is); what is (not) [you] shall have be known just as it is not: [1.] Are you male?
a5+[2.] Are you full 20 years of age?
b1[3.] (You are) not (a slave)? [4.] You are (not other people’s peon?) [5.] You have not been bought? [6.] You are not a debtor by bankruptcy?
b1+[7.] You are not a mercenary [or: official?] of the king?
b2[8.] (You have) not (sinned against) the king? [9.] You are (not secretly(?)) considering a conspiracy against the king?
b2+[10.] You are not indebted to anyone, neither a little nor much?
b3[11.] Now among men there are the following diseases: black leprosy, white leprosy, scrofula, tuberculosis [and] epilepsy.
b3+You do not suffer from one of these diseases?
b4[12.] Are your father [and] mother [still] alive? [13.] Have you asked their permission [and] (have you also received) the permission to go from the house? [14.] You have never been a monk before?
b4+If he says: I was a monk [before], he shall be asked:
b5Did you give up (the) commandment(s) with [careful] consideration [and] (do you [now, after careful consideration,] wish to return [to them]?) (Thus) the (instruct)or shall inquire about obstacles. After the instructor has asked the one to be ordained about any obstacle(s), (he shall enter [again and] pay homage to the community.)

a4+Now I will ask you [about] what [it is with] you. (Peyrot 2013b: 659)
b1You have not been bought, have you? (Peyrot 2013b: 366)
b4«You haven't been monk before, have you?» If he says, «I have been monk», [he is] to be asked: … (Peyrot 2013b: 701)

Commentary

Philological commentary

*The supplementation and commentaries follow Schmidt 1986: 18-9, 137.
n2The gap contains about 9 syllables.
n8The gap contains 8 akṣaras.
n9pkänte yamiñana wäntarwa are the “obstacles” [Skt. antarāyikā dharmāḥ], i.e. circumstances preventing ordination.
n12The gap contains 7 akṣaras.
n15The gap contains about 12 akṣaras.
n21The gap contains 8 akṣaras.

Remarks

*According to Schmidt 1986: iv-v, this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq.
*From this leaf 2 large fragments are preserved: from the left side, consisting of 2 pieces and about 11 cm wide; and the right half of the leaf, consisting of 2 pieces (of the smaller of which, about 2 cm high, only the verso is preserved) and about 13.5 cm wide. In the centre a strip of 2.5-8 cm is missing.
*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 yeṣāṃm sic!
n3bhaṣaṃtāṃ must be corrected to bhāṣaṃtāṃ.
n4yale for yalle; wasaṃnpāt for wasaṃpāt.
n5pkänte-yamiñana for pkänte-yamiññana; prekṣale for prekṣalle; welyñetse for welñentse; preśiya for preściya.
n6tuṣṇīṃm sic! dhārayataḥ must be corrected to dhārayata. auspa is certainly to be read as such.
n7Here auspa, otherwise known as an adverbial ‘truly, indeed’, here is an adjective ‘true, BHS bhūta’.
n10nestä for nest.
n11śarsaṣṣäle sic! for śarsäṣṣäle.
n13ikäṃ-pikwalañe for ikäṃ-pikwalaññe; nestä for nest.
n14temaṣe: separation into individual words is uncertain. weretemaṣe, on the basis of its equivalent in the Chinese version, must mean something like ‘debtor by bankruptcy (?)’ (cf. Schmidt 1986: 137).
n16nestä for nest; lāntäścä for lāntäśc; palskanatä for pälskanat; ketra for ketara; ca for kca.
n17wantareśce probably corresponds to Skt. bhaṭa ‘mercenary’. The associated Nom.Pl. wäntreśśi THT 274 a4 is translated as ‘vermogenden’ (i.e. ‘men of property’) in Couvreur 1954c: 111.
n18The last syllable before the gap must be read either as k[a] or k[ā].
n19On the basis of the Chinese version kastuna, only attested here, must mean something like ‘secret assaults (?), conspiracy (?)’ (cf. Schmidt 1986: 137).
n20ca peri is probably to be regarded as a bahuvrīhi (ca-peri) meaning ‘having something as debt’.
n22tsamo = Skt. prabhūta ‘much, plenty, numerous’, Adv. ‘exceedingly’, pace Thomas 1985, who regards tsamo as a noun meaning ‘tumour, excrescence; increase, growth, welfare, prosperity, thriving’.
n23eṅkwetse for eṅkwentse.
n24koṣṭä = Skt. kuṣṭha ‘(black) leprosy’; piśträ =? Skt. gaṇḍa ‘scrofula’; kṣai = Skt. kṣaya ‘tubercolosis’; apasmār = Skt. apasmāra ‘epilepsy’.
n25nesaṃ-cä for nesaṃ-c; laṃtsi for lantsi; ṣaiytä for ṣait; prekṣale for prekṣalle.
n26plāksatai is a Pt. III of plāk-, Kaus. III ‘to ask for permission’.
n27kre·e (no certain supplementation), perhaps ‘permission’ [cf. TA ke].
n28The supplementation of the first syllable after the gap to no is relatively certain.
n29ymasu for imassu; śäkṣapātänta for śikṣapātänta; anuśāsaketse for anuśāsakentse; wasaṃnpāt for wasaṃpāt.
