Abstract: (Show)

This article examines the 9th and 10th chapters of a Sanskrit version of the Madhyamaka-hṛdaya-Tarkajvālā which was found in Tibet and by Rāhula Sāṃskṛtyāyana in 1936. The author compares this text with several Tibetan versions from various editions of the Tibetan Buddhist Canon. He notes several differences including paraphrased translations as well as extra verses in the Tibetan versions. The author attributes the most glaring instance of extra verses in the Tibetan to a scribal error in the copying of the original Sanskrit manuscript which caused the available Sanskrit version to be lacking.
