Description
- Bodhicaryāvatāraṭippaṇī [0.2]
- Source: NAK 1.772 = NGMPP B 23/4
- Correct order of folios: 1, 2 (missing), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26,
8, 27, 8’, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.
- The first group of scribal hands seem to be those of students. The
master of the project was most likely ‘the red ink corrector’. This is not simply a later reader’s hand, since sometimes the main text leaves spaces for akṣaras it could not make out in the exemplar awaiting consultation with red ink. Judging by the misread akṣaras, the exemplar was in a very similar, Eastern script. The folios may have been recycled. It is as if sometimes we can see the previous akṣaras. Double daṇḍas are on the whole used very thoughtfully, so I have decided to keep them. The main scribe/s has a strange propensity towards gemination in ttva even if it is not needed, e.g. the abstract suffix.
- As for the text, it seems like lecture notes in a reading of the BCA and
the BCAP side by side. However, there are original comments, too.
