genre: budmaha
verse: verse

ref_Bailey: ok
old_late: late
content:
“[It is] a summary of the prajñāpāramitā teachings in the form of a dialogue between the Buddha and the Elder Subhūti.”

notes:
“The Khotanese version is of special interest as it deviates partly from the known Sanskrit original. The Khotanese translator did not proceed mechanically, but endeavoured to understand the precise meaning of the original and to render it with paraphrases and with the help of commentaries.” (Maggi 2009)

content:
“The sūtra, which contains an often repeated dhāraṇī (§§12 etc.), is attributed to the preaching of the Buddha Śākyamuni for the lengthening of the lifespan of beings by veneration of the Buddha Aparimitāyus, short form of Aparimitāyurjñānasuviniścitatejorāja (Brilliant king firm in unlimited life and wisdom, another name of the Buddha Amitābha) and of the sūtra itself.”

content:
“In this text, which belongs to the genre of buddhanāmasūtras (sūtras on the names of the Buddhas), the Buddha Śākyamuni proclaims the advantages that may be expected by “whichever believing noble lad or maiden there may be who may learn, or read, or speak, or write or cause to be written, or who will keep, or hear, or once may do homage to the names of those thousand and five divine Lords” of the good aeon [Bk 209, Konow’s translation].”

notes:
Le texte khotanais appartient à la même tradition que les textes chinois et tibétain mais en diffère cependant.

content:
ͤ“[It is] a teaching of the Buddha to the physician Jīvaka. [...] The work is an otherwise unknown collection of prescriptions taken from various texts and organised by type of preparation in complementary chapters introduced by the Sanskrit augural formula siddham ‘success’ as most of the chapters of the Book of Zambasta. Chapter one (§§ 1–3) contains an antidote (Khotanese agada- from Sanskrit agada-); chapter two (§§ 4–46) deals with drugs mixed with clarified butter (Khotanese gvīha’- rūna- lit. ‘cow oil’, Sanskrit ghr̥ta-); chapter three (§§ 47–73) with drugs mixed with sesame oil (Khotanese kūṃjsavīnaa- rūna-, Sanskrit taila-); and chapter four, that is only partly preserved (§§ 74–93; of § 93 only part of the Sanskrit is extant), with powders (Khotanese cāṇa- from Sanskrit cūrṇa-). [...] For each prescription, the instructions for the preparations are followed by indications on its use.”

notes:
The text is bilingual and alternates paragraphs in Sanskrit and Khotanese; only the first chapter alternates the two languages sentence by sentence. [...] The Khotanese version is based on the corrupt Sanskrit, which the translator could not understand fully, as is indicated by translation mistakes

notes:
[It] contains an introduction in verse. From it we know that the work was translated from Tibetan and not directly from Sanskrit—although the translator consulted the Sanskrit original and corrected mistakes of the Tibetan version 2—and why it was translated.

[...] Bhaiṣajyaguru is the Buddha of medicine in all its aspects up to enlightenment as a healing of existence. The sūtra’s four main themes are the twelve vows of Bhaiṣajyaguru as a Bodhisattva—most of which are concerned with cure and assistance to beings afflicted by diseases and worldly sufferings—and a description of his Buddha-field, the benefits for those who hear and invoke his name, the rituals for worshipping him, and the twelve yakṣa generals who offer protection from disease etc. to those who worship the Buddha Bhaiṣajyaguru and his sūtra.”

“The avadāna is presented as the Buddha's narration of one of his earlier lives told to his former wife Yaśodharā, who could not tolerate living separated from him. It tells in verse the love of prince Sudhana and of the kinnarī (fairy) princess Manoharā, their separation due to the plot of a wicked brahmin, Sudhana’s adventurous journey to the land of the kinnaras in search of his wife, and their final reunion (Sudhana was the Buddha, Manoharā was Yaśodharā).”

content:
“It is a rather free recasting of episodes belonging to the narrative complex of Aśoka.

“The preserved part, in prose, contains two episodes: that of the four lokapālas (the guardian deities of the cardinal points of the world) disguised as boys building a stūpa (Buddhist monument usually meant to contain relics) of mud and of King Kaniṣka who has a stūpa and a monastery built; and the fragmentary episode of Kaniṣka’s spiritual adviser Aśvaghoṣa casting a lump of clay on the newly built stūpa and of the subsequent appearing of an image of the Buddha confirming Aśvaghoṣa’s enlightenment within the present aeon.”

notes:
“Similar stories are found in Sanskrit, Chinese and Tibetan sources, but only the Khotanese appear to have organised them into a wider narrative.” (Maggi 2009)

“[This text] exemplifies the compensation for liberality and the retribution for avarice and is known in Sanskrit. It tells the touching story of the wealthy but exceedingly stingy merchant Nanda and of the liberality of one of his servants. The generous servant is reborn as Nanda’s rich son Candana, whereas Nanda is in time reborn as the blind and misshapen son of a blind beggar-woman. The manuscript breaks off when the boy, at the age of twelve, is sent by his mother to the village to beg alms.

old_late: late
content:
“The Khotanese text opens by contrasting the short, seven-year duration of the teaching of the three first Buddhas of the Bhadrakalpa (good aeon)—Krakasunda, Kanakamuni and Kāśyapa—with the long duration of the teaching of Śākyamuni Buddha, which resulted from the long exertion endured by him as a Bodhisattva. Among his achievements was his life as Rāma, as we are told in the final identification of Rāma with Śākyamuni and of his brother and companion Lakṣmaṇa with the future Buddha Maitreya, the fifth and last Buddha of the Bhadrakalpa. 
The story is as follows: in the opening episode, not found in the Sanskrit Rāmāyaṇa of Vālmīki, Paraśurāma revenges his father by killing King Daśaratha, Rāma’s father, and then goes on killing kings and setting up brahmans; he is in turn killed by Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa; the rākṣasa Daśagrīva has his daughter exposed because it was predicted that she would cause the downfall of his city; after she has been brought up by a hermit, Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa fall in love with her, but she is abducted by Daśagrīva; then the two brothers, with the help of the monkeys led by Naṇḍa, cross the ocean, conquer Laṅkā and defeat Daśagrīva; but Sītā, in order to prove she had remained pure, descends into the earth, so they go back to Jambudvīpa.”

The jātakas are preceded by a prologue ( JS 1–10) and followed by an epilogue ( JS 164–69).”

notes:

ref_Bailey: ok
old_late: late
content:
“In this devotional text, one of the highest expressions of Mahāyāna piety, the believer, using the first person singular, worships all Buddhas, makes pious vows, undertakes to attain enlightenment and expresses the hope to see the Buddha Amitābha and to be reborn in his pure land Sukhāvatī. The text also contains a confession of sin (st. 12 of the Khotanese version).”

notes:
“On the whole, the Khotanese follows the Sanskrit fairly closely, but the translation is free chiefly on account of the metrical requirements. An Old Khotanese paraphrase of the first sixteen stanzas (sts. 4–21 of the Khotanese) is found in the Book of Zambasta (Z 11.62–77).” (Maggi 2008) But cf p.345 “Of course, metrical renderings are freer than prose translations. Thus, the Late Khotanese metrical Bhadracaryādeśanā has, for instance, been characterised as 'a rather free rendering of the [Buddhist Sanskrit] original, in some cases more a paraphrase than a translation'.” (Maggi 2009)

“[It is an] Old Khotanese translation of the Kāśyapaparivarta (The chapter for Kāsyapa). [...] The text, that deals with the ideal of the Bodhisattva and contains a number of parables, is one of the earliest Mahāyānist texts and was regarded as one of their basic texts by the Madhyamaka and Yocagāra philosophical schools.”

notes:
It is worthy of note that the Sanskrit original is extant in a virtually complete manuscript and a few fragments from Khotan.

pages_Emmerick: 29-30
ref_Bailey: ok
old_late: old
content:
“The text, that contains many interesting stories and comparisons, is an instance of the cult of the sacred texts that characterises Mahāyāna Buddhism. It extols the Buddhist Law and particularly the Sgh itself: this is presented as a sūtra that can wipe out sins and bring to enlightenment anybody who hears, writes, learns by heart, recites, understands, honours and worships it. In an episode, the Sgh even takes the form of a seer (Sanskrit ṣi) who rescues a sinner who wants to commit suicide. The second part of the text, where Baiṣajyasena becomes the interlocutor of the Buddha, magnifies the saving virtues of the Law and the Sgh with reference to the beings who are “old” and “young” (“ancient” and “new”) in the cycle of existences and in the teaching of the Buddha.”

notes:
One of the most extensively preserved Old Khotanese texts. [...] [It] is represented by more than 140 folios and fragments belonging to at least twenty-seven manuscripts, which attests to the popularity gained by this translation among the Khotanese. → la liste des manuscrits n'est pas encore entrée dans la DB.

content:
“The Bodhisattva Vimalakīrti, a rich merchant, pretends to be ill and preaches to all who come to visit him: he shows that the Bodhisattva path can be followed not only by monks but also by laymen, illustrates the doctrine of emptiness of existence and the Buddhist way toward liberation, and explains the transcendental nature of the Buddha.”

notes:
According to Skjærvø, the “Khotanese translation is not identical with any of the other known ones. However, it is reasonably close to the Tibetan. Where it diverges from it, it occupies a position intermediate between the Chinese translations K [= Kumārajīva] and H [= Xuanzang]”.

content:
“The Śgs is concerned with the power of concentration (Sanskrit samādhi), and particularly with the concentration called Śūraṅgama, as a means for both monks and laymen to attain to enlightenment, and exposes the methods of meditation on emptiness.”

notes:
The Khotanese Śgs, whose manuscripts are characterised by a rather consistent archaic orthography, differ in a number of places from the Tibetan or from the Chinese and sometimes from both. [...] Only a few fragments from four different Sanskrit manuscripts survive, one of which betrays Khotanese influence in the use of the form manyuśrī- for the name Mañjuśrī.

ref_Bailey: given separately for each manuscript
old_late: both
content:
“It is a composite work with devotional, philosophical, ethical and legendary contents, that, as shown by Johannes Nobel, has its original core in the Deśanāparivarta (Sanskrit chap. 3), where the confession is expounded by an “excellent drum of golden light” and to which the title Suvarṇabhāsottama must have originally applied.201 It deals, among other things, with the infinity of the life of the Buddha (chap. 2), the doctrine of emptiness (chap. 5), the role of kingship (chap. 12) and the art of medicine (chap. 16), and contains dhāraṇīs (chaps. 7 and 8) and several stories of the Buddha’s former births (Sanskrit jātaka), among which is the story of the Bodhisattva killing himself to serve as food for a hungry tigress (chap. 18).”

notes:
All Khotanese folios and fragments of Suv come from the region of Khotan with the exception only of the metrical version of the Deśanāparivarta that is preserved in the Dunhuang manuscript P 3513.59 v1–75 v2.

This does not correspond to any of the other known versions of the text, including the Central Asian Sanskrit recension, and must reflect an early stage of the text as, like the Tibetan version of the manuscript Kanjur of the British Library, it does not contain amplifications, comments and examples of the consequences of actions that are characteristic of the other versions.
