| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study focuses on the daily practice and life of monks in Indian Tantric Buddhism. Especially, this study takes up the TrisamayarAjatantra and TrisamayarAjasAdhana and reads them by philological method. The reason is that these literatures are shown norms of the Tantric Buddhist monks from the time they wake up until they go to sleep. As a result, the daily practice and life of the monks and its transitions are clarified. Moreover, it was proven anew that the TrisamayarAjatantra is relevant to the VairocanAbhisambodhi, one of the major texts of Shingon Buddhism. The main result of this study is the publication of the preliminary edition and its annotated Japanese translation of TrisamayarAjasAdhana.

本研究の中核に置いた底哩三昧耶王系経軌は古来より真言密教の所依経典『大日経』との関係が指摘されていながら研究がほとんど進展してこなかった。まず、この経軌に改めて光を当てた点は大きな学術的意義といえる。また、本研究によってインド中期密教時代を中心とする修行生活の一端が垣間見え、現代日本密教における修行生活と酷似する要素も確認できた。そのような要素の中でも胎蔵大日如来真言や不動讃の読誦、食事や就寝時の作法等について校訂テクストと現代語訳を提示できたことは大きな成果といえる。これらの成果は仏教の内部だけに留まらず、シヴァ教を始めとする他宗教を解明する上でも有用な比較資料となるであろう。
