Abstract

Chapter 14 of the Old Khotanese Book of Zambasta compares Mahāyāna Buddhology to that of traditional Buddhism. It especially illustrates the skilful means that the Buddha uses to adapt to different people in order to deliver them. Compared to previous editions and translations of the work, the article offers reinterpretations and restorations of lacunae in verses 14.11–15, 33, 35–36, 46–51, 54, 56–64, 68, 74, and 89. An appendix reinterprets verse 3.17 in connection with 14.60 and another appendix deals with the metrical behaviour of the third person enclitic pronoun yä.
