Notes on ‘The Scythian Period’
These notes, supplementary to the necessarily brief review of Mevrouw van Lohuizen-De-Leeuw's meritorious work, do not at all seek to revive the exhaustive discussions of 1913 or to scrutinize any subsequent contributions of fact or opinion. The aim is simply to signalize the authoress's main propositions and to record a few such provisional comments as seem relevant. In view of some tendency towards a “general opinion” a new objectively elaborat…

A Tibeto-Chinese Word-and-Phrase Book
The two fragments here transliterated and interpreted were discovered among the mass of manuscripts brought back by the late Sir Aurel Stein from the cave-shrines of the "Thousand Buddhas" near Tun-huang, in Western Kan-su. These texts are written on the back of two short fragments of the "Diamond" and "Lotus" siitras in Chinese, dating probably from the early ninth century A.D. They are particularized in the note below
Sanskrit jenya
This Ṛg-vedic word, for which Grassmann's Wörterbuch proffers the meanings— 1. “noble,” “of high origin (Abkunft)”; 2. (of goods, possessions) “fine”, “excellent” recurs in the Sāma-veda and in the Kāṣhaka-saṃhitā and Maitrāyaṅī- s . of the Black Yajur-veda , but only in two passages taken verbatim from the Rv ., viz. Vi.42.4 = Sv . II.6.3.2.4, and V, 1, 5 = Ks . XVI, 3, XIX, 4, Ms . II.7.3. In the other Vedic texts, in the Nirukta , in Pāṇini's …
Some Notes on Central-Asian Kharoṣṭhī Documents
This document (No. 661 in Kharosṣṭhī inscriptions transcribed and edited by A. M. Boyer, E. J. Rapson, and É. Senart [and P. S. Noble] ) has been the subject of special study by Professor Konow ( Acta Orientalia , ii, pp. 124–7; x, pp. 77–80; xiv, pp. 233–240), and by Professor Noble ( Bulletin of the School of Oriental Studies , VI, pp. 445–455), not to mention the subsequent discussion by Dr. Burrow of the word hinajha and his translation. The …
A Tokharī (?) MS
Edward Hamilton Johnston, 1885–1942
The death of Sir Flinders Petrie at Jerusalem on 28th July has removed Britain's most famous Egyptologist. The son of a civil engineer and the grandson of a sailor explorer of Australia, he was born in 1853 and, like quite a sprinkling of scholars, was educated privately. Starting his life's work with a survey of Stonehenge and other British remains, in 1880 he turned to the Great Pyramid and wrote a classical work on " The Pyramids and Temples o…

The Date of the Svapna-Vasavadatta
I do not propose on this occasion to initiate a general discussion concerning the authenticity of the plays discovered and edited by the late Mahāmahopādhyāya Gaṇapati Śāstrī and by him attributed to Bhāsa. Hitherto the matter has run rather a normal course, first enthusiastic acceptance, then opposition, then suggestions of a via media . The debate has evoked some treatises which will retain their value even after a consensus is reached. The var…
A Second Chinese Buddhist Text in Tibetan Characters
The text contained in the MS. described below begins with three syllables śa-li-ẖbur , which scholars will naturally (unless illuded for a moment by the thought of sāli “year”) find suggestive of Śāriputra . The recurrence of the syllables will confirm this impression, more especially when far on in the document appears 'an.nog.da.la.sam. yag.sam.bu.de , previously recognized as=Sanskrit anuttara samyak-sambodhi . But, since the conjunction of th…
V. Notes on the Edicts of Aśoka
In recurring, briefly, to the consideration of this expression we may take with us the fact that in the Sārnāth inscription the verb vivāsāy - has been shown to bear the meaning “cause to dwell away”, to dwell, that is, in a place which is anāvāsa , “not a residence,” in the particular case “not a residence of a community of monks”
VIII. Notes on the Edicts of Aśoka
The phrase ete ca amne ca bahukā mukhā dānavisagasi vyāpaṭā = ete ca anye ca bahukā mukhā (masc.) dānamsarge vyāpṛtāh , occurring in Pillar Edict VII–VIII, 6, is rendered by M. Senart “these functionaries and others are my intermediaries: it is they who are occupied with the distribution of my alms ...” ( Inscriptions de Piyadasi , ii, p. 97), and it is explained (pp. 91–2) that the employment of the word mukha is similar to that of dvāra in the …
Art. XXIV.— Notes from the Tanjur
This poem is contained along with certain other stotras in one of the Nepalese MSS. presented by the late B. H. Hodgson to the Library of the India Office (I.O., 2921). A second copy is included in the collection of the Bengal Asiatic Society, and its initial verses are quoted by Rājendra Lāla Mitra in his account of the MS. A third copy is among the works presented to Burnouf, and now in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris
Art. XIV.— Two Lists of Words from Báṇa's ‘Harṣa-Carita ’
The following lists are composed of words and meanings which, occurring in the Harṣa-Carita of Bāṇa, are not quoted, or are instanced only from grammars, dictionaries, and commentaries, in the great St. Petersburg Lexicon and the smaller Lexicon of Böhtlingk. Only a few words not coming under this definition have for special reasons been included; namely, where I was unable in the Kashmir text to verify Böhtlingk's references to Bāṇa's work, wher…

Art. IX.—The Jānakīharaṇa of Kumāradāsa
The history of this little-known work is remarkable. No manuscript of it has yet been discovered, and on the continent of India the only traces of its existence consist in the facts that a few of its verses are quoted in two Sanskrit anthologies, the Çārṅgadharapaddhati and the Subhāṣitāvalī, and in the Aucityavicāracarcā of Kṣemendra, and that the author is coupled with Kālidāsa in a memorial verse of Rājaçekhara— Jānakīharaṇaṃ kartuṃ Raghuvaṃçe…

Art. XXIX.— Notes from the Tanjur
The Tanjur contains, beside the Meghadūta , two short poems attributed to Kālidāsa, both mentioned by Huth in his analysis of Mdo , vols. cxvii–cxxiv ( Sitziungsberichte d. k. preuss. Akademie d. Wissenschaften zu Berlin , 1895, xv, p. 17). One is entitled Maṅgalāṣṭaka , and is found in Rgyud , vol. lxxxvi, fol. 225. The other, a hymn to Sarasvatī ( Rgyud , vol. lxxxii, foll. 199–200), I here transcribe with a tentative translation, which may per…
Art. XIV.—Notes from the Tanjur
I present here a short tract from Mdo, vol. cxxxiii, foil. 330–2, entitled Īśvarakartṛtranirākṛtir Viṣṇorekakartṛtvanirākaraṋam , or “Refutation of the idea of God as Creator ( sic ): Refutation of the idea of Viṣṇu as sole Creator ( sic ).” It is ascribed to Nāgārjuna, who is named as the author of about one hundred works noted by me in the Tanjur. The fact that it appears in one of the last volumes of the Mdo, and that both the Sanskrit and the…

XXXIII. Notes from the Tanjur
Ahitherto, I believe, unknown collection of Jātakas, bearing the above title, is to be found in the Tanjur ( Mdo , xcii, foll. 1–229). It is, as may be seen, a work of considerable extent, though the number of the stories is no more than thirty-five, in three decades plus five. The detailed examination of this probably not uninteresting work may be left to those who devote special attention to this class of writings. But I may here collect the fa…

IX. Sakastana
The earliest references to the Śakas have been so often discussed that it would seem scarcely worth while to seek for further information in them ( see Rawlinson's Herodotus , 1880, iv, pp. 200 sqq.). But the passages in Herodotus and the inscriptions of Darius have suggested to me a doubt which I should like to submit for consideration

XXV. The Aufrecht Collection
The annexed catalogue relates to a collection acquired by the India Office Library from the late Professor Aufrecht in the year 1904. The collection consists, as will be seen, partly of Sanskrit MSS., in most cases copied by Professor Aufrecht himself from originals in Europe or India, but including a few copies made, or procured from India, by friends (e.g., Professor Kuhn, Professor Bühler, Professor Kielhorn, and Dr. Stein) or otherwise obtain…
