| Research Abstract |
The Abhisamayalamkara (abbr. AA) was regarded as an important commentary on the Prajnaparamita-sutra in India. This text was translated into Tibetan, and was studied as one of important subjects in Tibet. But it seems that the AA and its commentarics were never translated into Chinese. Therefore, in order to study the AA we have to study the Tibetan translation of AA & its commentaries and the subcommentaries that were written by Tibetans.
The AA has eight chapters and interprets the Prajnaparamita-sutra through seventy items as a whole. As these items are enumerated at the beginning of the AA, we can overlook the AA. Commentators on the AA call it the summary of the text. Therefore, a commentary on these items is regarded as an introduction of the AA. At first, therefore, I will devote myself to understand this part of the AA through Haribhadra's small commentary (the Sphutartha) & Dar ma rin chen's subcommentary on it (the rNam bshad snying po rgyan).
In this research, at first, I made a critical text of the part of rNam bshad snying po rgyan to translate from two versions, the Otani university version & the Sarnath version. And I translated it into Japanese. In my translation I referred to two subcommentaries on the Sphutartha, which were written in India by Dharmakirtisri & Dhamamitra respectivety.
