The results of the study are ;
1. Full-text-data of some basic Mahayana texts (Skt./Tib.) have been digitalized in ASCII-code, by using Optical Character Recognition(OCR) of the texts already edited in Romanized character.
2. Reconstruction of the Sanskrit texts is not yet finished. Because farther more text-data should be input to achieve the procedure of precise data-analysis.
3. Some new views on the philosophy of Dharmakirti are obtained by analyzing his usage of some terms. That are resulted as some reports published in some academic journals. And the analysis of the Tibetan version of Ratnakarasanti's treatises which in not preserved in its Sanskrit original form gave some new knowledge about his position in the History of Indian esoteric Buddhism.
