Bodhi(sattva earyavatara. CHR. LINDTNER (Copenhagen) Among the numerous Sanskrit texts (more than 1000 titles «comprising ap proximately 50000 palmyra leaves )that have recently been brought to light in and around Lhasa there are also a few tantalizing titles that are bound to ere stir of expectation among Buddhologists all around the globe. Spexking of Mad hyamaka jastras there are complete Sanskrit manuscripts of Nagarjuna's Ratndvali. of Dharmadhatustava ascribed 10 that authors of Bhavyn's Madhyamakahydaya(harita), Candrakurti's Mudhyamakavataras and of Abhayakaragupta’s Munimatalankara and Madhvamakaman jun. ‘There are also manuscripts of texts already available in Sanskrit such as Muse madhyamakakarika . Vigrahavyavartani, Prasanna pad: Siksasamuceayas Bod: AiCsattva)caryavatdra, ete. On the other hand. we in vain look for manuscripts containing the works of Aryadeva, Buddhapalita, Kamalasila Capart from Bhavandkrama 1) and Santarakgita (apart from a fragment containing his com mentary on the Bodhisattvasamvaravimiaka. and the complete commentary on the Vadanyaya). Also other trends of Buddhist thought are represented, Here J shall have to confine myself to the most important: The commentary of Sthiramati on Vasubandhu's Pancaskandhaka and that of Jinendrabuddhi on Dignaga’s sarnubhas but no trace of his other works. When it comes to Dharmakirti all his works are Pramanasamuccaya(286 leaves); there is also a fragment of his Nyx represented, including complete manuscripts of his Pramayaviniscaya.

Sambandhaparikga and Samtandntarasiddhi ‘A large number of Mahayanasitras have also been discovered. Among the most interesting is the Bodhisattvapitaka,a text very important for the early Madhyamikas. While most of these manuscripts are still in Tibet, a smaller portioa(ca. 250 manuscripts) were brought to Beijing in 1960. Nearly all these manuscripts have already been described, copied or even edited (especially Jaanasri and. Ratnakirti) by the great Rahulji back in the thirties. (Cf. Michael Torsten Much .A Visit to Rahula Sankytyayana’s Collection of Negatives at the Bihar Re- search Society. Wien 1988. ) Unfortunately. many of Rahulji's copies Cand edi- tions) are of a very poor quality, and some texts were not even copied by him at all. Hence the main value of the collection of Sanskrit manuscripts in Beijing con- sists in the fact that it enables us to fill out lacunae left by Rabulji. In this paper I intend, for a start. to report the variant readings found in one of these manuscripts. It is a complete copy (23 leaves) of Santideva’s Cor Santadeva's) celebrated Bodhisatrvacaryavatara, generally known under the ab- breviated title Badhicayavarara. The text has often been edited and translated. Unfortunately, in most cases the translators have got the title wrong. It is not “Entering the Path of Enlightenment” ,or some such thingy but rather “A Pre- sentation of (An Introduction to) the Career of a Bodhisattva (i, e, an adherent of Mahayana)”.

A special debt of gratitude goes to Mrs. Hu Haiyan-von Hintber without whose kind assistance all doors would probably have remained closed. In a few cases I was able to benefit from her long experience in the field of Sanskrit palaeography. Let me end by expressing the hope that all these new and exciting materials will. without further delay. be catalogued and made readily available to the inter- national world of interested scholars. = 6b bala tu Bzbalam nu C =e na Bisa C = 13b yad Beyady C - 16d yathasamkhyena B: yathasamkhyena C 25b katham B:kutah C 28b dubkhanihsaranasaya B; dubkhanihsarai c danamatratah C 1, 29¢ parvasukhaih B:sarvasukhai 1, 32 -matradinatah B. 1. 35¢ papakarma Bp pakam C (read na papakam) «Be ~sattvah B; -sattva C + 12b unmysami Bs unm rami C 15a mandara~ B: mandara C 16a -manoramais B: -manoharais 16 bhaujyais ca svadyair B: bhoiyaih sakhadyair C -2le -va saéca By -vargani C 32 om .C et ad. katham ca etc. with nayakab (for nayakab) in CSII) ee 1.34b papamkytam B: krtam papam C +355 1.36 inc 36= 1.35 nC 1 1 1. 38b na maya B:maya na C 1. 38¢ moha- B; tena- C 1. 40d -vedana B:-vedanah C 1. 44c -grastah B: -grasta C I. 46a Sanya By 1, 49a samasta~ B; samanta- C 1 I a inya C 54a -bhito "pi B: bhityapi C 64¢ -dubkhabhitab B; -bhitabhitah C +65 after this verse C adds papadesana (for ~desana) - 3b -sukhavahan B, -sukhakaran C + te -hitadharian B: -hitadharan C; C adds punyanumodana 4 afer this verse C adds adhyesana Sb yacayami B prarthayami C Se anantams B:analpams C: C adds yacana nc 23d yathakramam B. yathakamam(!)
