Early Buddhist Theories of Action and Result

Abstract

All references to the Sanskrit text of Pras refer to the edition by LA VALLEE POUSSIN ( 1 903- 1913), here called the vulgate edition (V) . Following the system used in the Pras-indices by YAMAGUCHI ( 1 974) , references are to page- and line-numbers; e.g., Pras 3023 is a reference to Prasannapada, Vedition, p. 302, line 3. V's pagination is indicated in the critical editions in this volume for the sake of easy reference. References to the Tibetan edition are given in accordance with the pagination of D; e.g., D3860 . 1 00b4 is a reference to Prasannapada of the sDe dge bstan gyur (listed as text no. 3860 in VI's catalogue) , folio-number lOOb, line-number 4. Similarly, other references to Tibetan texts are provided with text-number in D, folio- and line-number; e.g., D3862.253a6 is a reference to MavBh (text no. 3862 in D), folio 253a, line 6. In case of texts covering more than one volume, the volume number is given with Roman numerals ; e.g., D3859.III . 1 8b3_4 is a reference to Prajiiapradlpat1ka (text no. 3859 in D), vol. three (vol. za pa), folio 1 8b, lines three to four. References to Chinese texts are given to the Taish6 Shinshl1 Daiz6ky6 edition with text-, page- and line-number; e.g., T 1564.21c6 is a reference to Chung lun (text no. 1564), page 21, section c, line 6. In case of Chinese texts only rarely referred to in this thesis, the Taish6 volumenumber is also indicated; e.g., T3lO. 1 1 .417c12_13 is a reference to Aryapitaputrasamagamasl1tra (text no. 3 10), volume 1 1 , page 417, section c, lines 1 2- 13. All references to Pali-texts are to the PTS-editions; e.g., DN 1 .2 1 is a reference to Dighanikaya, PTS-edition, vol. 1 , page 21.
