Summary note
  • Chapter 1 is a sketch of unique features of tathāgatagarbhatheory in Śrīmālāsūtra. Chapter 2 deals with essential terms relating to tathāgatagarbha. Chapter 3 revolves around philological features of Sanskrit Śrīmālāsūtra. Chapter 4 and 5 are collation and annotated translations of its tathāgatagarbha passages.
  • "In this thesis the author firstly investigates various terms related to tathāgatagarbha in the Śrīmālāsūtra. Secondly he focuses on the languages features of its Sanskrit fragments in the Schøyen Collection. It turns out that none of their noticeable language features can ultimately suggest the school-affiliation of the Śrīmālāsūtra. Thirdly he analyzes its paleographical features. Besides, the author conducts an initial study of textual history the Śrīmālāsūtra, and discusses the older recension(s) of the Śrīmālāsūtra based on the Sanskrit morphology, criteria of lectio difficilior and lectio facilior, ascertainment of later contents in the course of transmission, and the development of Buddhist doctrine. Finally he provides a careful textual collation, and makes an annotated translation"-- Provided by publisher.
