| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study produced, based on newly accessible manuscripts, both a critical edition of Chapters 1-4 of the biography of Chag lo tsa ba Chos rje dpal (1197-1264), a Tibetan monk-pilgrim who travelled around India and Nepal in the thirteenth century, and an annotated English translation of the text. Through the lens of this Tibetan's descriptions, I shed some light on the social context, geography, customs, and beliefs surrounding Buddhism in thirteenth-century India and Nepal, thus providing new, basic data that will be available to researchers across a wide range of fields, especially in Indian Buddhism, for which historical sources are scarce.

本研究では、これまで知られていたゲッティンゲン大学所蔵の写本に加え、近年利用可能になったBDRC（Buddhist Digital Resource Center）の手書き写本を新たに用いることで、より正確にテキストの内容を理解することが可能となった。また、とりわけ今回解読した第2章には、チュージェペル自身がネパールで現地の学者に学んでいた様子を記す記述が含まれており、チベット人翻訳官（ロツァワ）とインド人学者との間の思想的、文化的な交流の問題を解明する上でも、本研究の持つ意義は極めて大きい。
