中英藏西夏文《圣曜母陀罗尼经》考略

A Study on the Tangut Version of the Arya Grahamatrka Dharani Sutra in both Chinese and British Collections

《圣曜母陀罗尼经》是印度大乘密教经典,现存唐法成和宋法天两种汉文异译本,法天本为历代大藏经所收录。随着英藏、中国藏黑水城文献的刊布,为我们更好地了解其传播情况提供了资料。黑水城等地出土文献中保存了多件西夏文《圣曜母陀罗尼经》。本文对英藏和中国藏西夏文《圣曜母陀罗尼经》进行了梳理、译释和考证,判定西夏文《圣曜母陀罗尼经》遗存情况;再结合法成本和法天本,探讨了西夏文本所依据的底本以及流行传播等情况。

The Arya Grahamatrka Dharani Sutra is a Mahayana Tantra from India of which there are currently two Chinese versions, one translated by Fa Cheng in the Tang dynasty and the other by Fa Tian in the Song dynasty. The Song dynasty version is recorded in the Tripitaka of past dynasties and the publication of the Khara-Khoto documents collected in China and Britain has provided further material for better understanding its dissemination. A few documents in Tangut of the Arya Grahamatrka Dharani Sutra have been unearthed from Khara-Khoto, but those in the Russian collection have not been published yet. Therefore, this paper can only examine, translate, interpret, and research those Tangut versions of the Arya Grahamatrka Dharani Sutra found in the Chinese and British collections to discuss which copy the Tangut version was based on and how it prevailed and spread.
