Translation

(continues from THT 1112)

a1You have here asked each [and] every monk (down to the youngest(?)) to ordain [you].
a1+But now you shall ask the community as a whole to ordain [you].
a2If the community as a whole (agrees by sitting still), you will be ordained.
a2+[If only] one [single] monk hinders you, you will not be ordained.
a3+What words I give you now [and] here to say, this say loudly, for the hearing of the whole community!
a4Say: Let (the venerable community) pay heed to this!
a4+I, Yaśakāma, Yaśa’s [= abbrev. of Vimalayaśa] [candidate] to be ordained,
a5(ask) the community (to) ordain [me] with Yaśa [as] (upā)dhyāya. May the community lift me up,
a5+may the community enable my ordination (out of) compassion!
b1+(This [must] be spoken three [times].)The noble community, from a loving disposition, has, by sitting still, agreed to ordain you.
b2(Let the venerable) community (hear)!
b2+I, Yaśakāma, Yaśa’s [candidate] wishing to be ordained, (ask) the community (for) [my] ord(ination).
b3May the community lift me up,
b3+may the community ordain me out of compassion.
b4Thus (a second [and] a third time) [it must] be (spoken). 3.
b4+But now the being to be ordained shall (be asked) about obstacles.
b5Why so? Because at the time of the Buddha, some beings, who [were] not worthy, went from the house here [and] (were ordained, [although they]) [were] endowed with (ev)il deeds.

Other

a2+If the whole saṃgha (agrees), [even if] only (through remaining silent), you will be ordained. If only one monk stops you, you cannot be ordained. (Peyrot 2013b: 311)
a3The words which I tell you to say, say that aloud! (Peyrot 2013b: 659)
a4May the worthy saṃgha pay attention! (Peyrot 2013b: 296)

Commentary

Philological commentary

*The supplementation and commentaries follow Schmidt 1986: 20, 138-139.
*TB: aiśai te yāmträ (aṣanīke sāṅk) ñiś yaśakāme yaśentse wasanpāt yamaṣälle • su ñiś saṅkameṃ wasanpāt y(askaskemar upā)dhyāyeṃ yaśentsa • kauc ñiś sāṅk pannoy yātäṣṣi ñi sāṅk wasanpāt āñmālāśälyñe(sa)

n3The gap contains about 10 akṣaras.
n5The gap contains about 6 akṣaras.
n8The gap contains about 3-4 akṣaras.
n11The gap contains about 6 akṣaras.
n12The Tocharian text from aiśai te yāmträ to āñmālāṣäly(ñ)e(sa) is the translation of the Sanskrit text following in lines b2-4 (for a further parallel cf. also the Bhī 19 a2-4):
n15The gap contains 4 akṣaras.
n19The gap contains about 7 akṣaras.
n22The gap contains 6 akṣaras.
n25The gap contains 7 akṣaras.
n27The gap contains about 6 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: one from the left side, about 10 cm wide, and the right half of the leaf, about 13 cm wide. In between about 6 cm are 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 3.

Linguistic commentary

n1yamaṣäle for yamaṣṣälle; ta for tane; ṣṣeme for ṣeme; wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt.
n2na sic! Perhaps one should read ta, as a scribal error for tane? ṣṣeme sic!
n4yaskaṣälle for yaskaṣṣälle; krui for kwri; wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; yātaṃñ-c for yātaṃ-c; teṅkäñ-c for teṅkäṃ-c.
n6teṅkäṃ is the initially accented 3rdSub.Sg. II of täṅk- ‘hinder’.
n7wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; yātaṃñ-c for yātaṃ-c; weñau-ś for weñau-c.-
n9klyaussa for klyauṣtsisa; wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; yamaṣälle for yamaṣṣälle.
n10klyaussa sic! scribal error for klyaussisa.
n13wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt.
n14kauc pannoy corresponds to Skt. avalaṃbatu; as a Skt. equivalent, however, one would rather expect ulluṃpatu ‘shall lift’, which, indeed, is attested in Bhī 133, 17 (= THT 1111 a3) and the Vinayapiṭaka II, p. 277 in the same context.
n16yātäṣṣi wasanpāt translates Skt. upasaṃpā〈da〉yatu.
n17wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt; āñmālāśälyñesa for añmalāṣṣälñese.
n18āñmālāṣälyñe sic!
n20wasanpāt for wasaṃpāt.
n21saṃghaḥ ahaṃ yaśakāma sic! Class.Skt. saṃgho 'haṃ yaśakāmo.
n23Below up(a-) the akṣara śa seems to have been inserted - where this is supposed to belong remains unclear. upasaṃpāyatu sic! scribal error for upasaṃpādayatu.
n24māṃghaḥ: scribal error for māṃ sāṃghaḥ.
n26pkänte for pkante.
