Translation
| a1 | he/they(?) shall (ask) him about other obstacles. ([On] offences(?)) such as [1.] patricide [pitṛvadha], [2.] matricide [mātṛvadha], |
|---|---|
| a2 | [3.] killing of the Arhat [arhadvadha], [4.] dividing the community [saṃghabheda], [5.] malicious shedding of the blood of a Buddha [tathagataduṣṭacittarudhirotpāda], |
| a3 | [6.] the causing of heretic views, and so on, (the community(?)) shall (also) be heard. Of whatever reproach against this person, however, he [i.e. the instructor], is doubtful, this shall be asked. Whatever from now on |
| a4 | you hear from a monk, a nun or a householder: This [or] that now(?) is an obstacle!, all this do not regard! This, |
| a5 | so far, the Buddha due to [his] omniscience, saw as obstacles. This then he commanded you be asked, [and] this now I have asked you. From this, however, |
| b1 | nothing was with you. [Therefore] be without doubt! You are without obstacle. Your vessel is clean. You are worthy to be a place of the prātimokṣa- |
| b2 | taste. You are worthy to be a son of the Omniscient, the Buddha, the law-king ruling the world. Since |
| b3 | in the meantime you have bowed at the feet [of the exalted one], seized garb [and] eating bowl [and] have asked for a teacher, |
| b4 | [and since] ordination will not be yours ([if] obstacles hinder(?)) the proposition(?) of ordination, I will now speak that, through which ordination will be yours: [In Skt.]: |
| b5 | Let the venerable community hear! This (Yaśakāma, Yaśa’s [= abbrev. of Vimalayaśa] [candidate] wishing to be ordained) asks the community to ordain [him] with Yaśa |
(continues on THT 1116)
Other
| a3 | If, however, he has doubts about this person with respect to this reproach, this is to be investigated [lit. questioned]. (cf 56, 92–93) (Peyrot 2013c: 702) |
|---|---|
| b3+ | You will not have the ordination (unless there are no objections against your) application [invitation] to the ordination. I will now say that through which you will have the ordination. (cf 57, 94) (Peyrot 2013c: 660) |
Commentary
Philological commentary
| The supplementation and commentaries follow Schmidt 1986b: 22, 140-141. | |
| n3 | The gap contains about 9 akṣaras. |
| n4 | These lines contain a list of the five capital sins (TB anantārśänta = Skt. ānantaryāṇi), to wit pātär māträ arahante kāwäly(ñ)e (= Skt. pitṛvadha, mātṛvadha and arhadvana), sāṅk wi-p(ā)k(e yama)lyñ(e) (= Skt. saṃghabheda) and (mamāntau-pä)lsko pañäktente yasar lyucalyñe (= Skt. tathāgataduṣṭacittarudhirotpāda), as well as a sixth, heresy (TB ankaiṃpilko erälñe = Skt. mithyādṛṣṭi). On the pañcānantaryāṇi cf. Dharmasaṃgraha 60; Mvy., 2324-2328, Rosen 1959: 236, and Härtel 1956: 79 (Nr. 26-30). |
| n21 | The gap contains about 11 akṣaras. |
| n22 | cf. THT 1114 a4 - b1 and commentary. |
Remarks
| According to Schmidt 1986b: iv-v this ms. comes either from Qizil or from Tumšuq. | |
| This leaf is preserved in its full width and consists of 6 pieces. The damage is similar to THT 1114. To the right of the string hole lines 1-2 are missing over s atretch of 10 and 5 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 1986b: v, 2, 5 | |
| This leaf is in hand 3. |
Linguistic commentary
| n1 | aloṅkna for alloṅkna. |
|---|---|
| n2 | The last sign before the gap (above: [o]) could also be read as [tu]. The second readable sign after the gap (above: ·ñ·) could also be read as ·r·, ·lä or ā, and the following k· (as above) could also be a r· or a ·u. |
| n5 | arahante for arhānte; kāwälye for kāwälñe; wī for wi; yyamalyñe for yamalñe. |
| n6 | kāwälye sic! and should be corrected to kāwälyñe. The sequence [·y·] – [·y]ñ· is most likely to be supplemented to yyamalyñe (sic!). |
| n7 | kattākeṃnmeṃ for kattākeṃmeṃ; tam for tamp. |
| n8 | Separating the sequence tetamtsake into te tam tsa ke is a likely option. antaray sic! for antarāy. |
| n9 | mistaken lyā for lyāka. |
| n10 | lyā should be corrected to lyāka. |
| n11 | prekuwa: 1stPt.III Act. of prek- ‘ask’. (= pärk-, cf. Malzahn 2010b). |
| n12 | nessi for nestsi. |
| n13 | antaray sic! for antarāy. |
| n14 | śmoñña for ścmoñña; nessi for nestsi; pañaktentse for pañäktentse; cakkravārtti for cakravārtti. |
| n15 | pañaktentse should be corrected to pañäktentse. The following dot is misplaced and can be ignored. |
| n16 | epiṅte for epiṅkte; paiyne for paine; ta for tane. |
| n17 | atiṣṭhit sic! for adhiṣṭhit. The ta at the end of this line may be an error for tane. |
| n18 | wasatpāt for wasaṃtpāt; tākaṃñc for tākañ-c; cesa for kucesa. |
| n19 | The sequence [·ta] after the gap may also be read as [·ñ·]; the following naṅkeṃ could also be read as taṅkeṃ. If so, this is a 3rd Pl.Sub.Act. that has been transferred to thematic inflection. On the inflection of the athematic Sub. class I in TB cf. Schmidt 1985a: 429ff. |
| n20 | upadaṃ must be corrected to upasaṃpadaṃ. |
