| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | This work is made up of three uncqunl parts. The first part contains<br/>an edition of the Sanskrit text of what I have called 'Redaction A' of the<br/>Bhaisajyaguru-Sutra. This edition is based on a single manuscript found at<br/>Gilgit; with variants from four other manuscripts, also found at Gilgit,<br/>given in the critical apparatus. Stylistically 'Redaction A' seems to<br/>represent an 'unrevised" version of the text, perhaps a first attempt at<br/>Gilgit to commit an oral tradition to writing. The second part consists of a critical edition of the Tibetan translation<br/>of a Sanskrit text of the Bhaisajyaguru-Sutra. This edition is based on the Derge, Narthan, Peking and Lhasa versions of the 'phags pa<br/>bcom ldan 'das sman gyi bla bai uu rya'i 'od kyi snon gyi smon lam gyi<br/>khyad par rgyas pa and the 'phags pa de bzin gaega pa bdun gyi snon gyi<br/>smon lam gyi khyad par rgyas pa. The Derge versions form the basis of<br/>the edition. The first and second parts are preliminary studies to the third and main part, since the whole was not intended as a study of the Bhaisajyaguru-Sutra per se. This third part is devoted to an English translation of the Sanskrit text, with notes; the latter making up the bulk of the work. In these notes I have attempted to show how a literate member of the Gilgit community, assuming he was familiar with the texts known to have been available to him, would have, or could have, understood the Bhaisajyaguru-Sutra, I have also attempted to show what was and what was not unique to Bhaisajyaguru-Sutra vis-a-vis the Gilgit collection as a whole, and to make the first tentative steps towards reconstructing the 'Buddhism'<br/>current at Gilgit in the 5th-6th century. |
