蔵訳『Abhiniṣkramaṇasūtra』研究――魔女の誘惑について――

抄録

The Tibetan translation of the Abhiniṣkramaṇasūtra （AS） is considered to be related to the Sarvāstivāda. However, the episode of the temptation by Māra’s daughters is described in greater detail in AS compared with its rendition in other hagiographical texts of the Sarvāstivāda. This paper focuses on this specific episode and examines parallel texts to find its origins. It can be assumed that some verses of AS, specifically the conversations between Māra and his daughters, are quoted from the Za ahan jing 雑阿含経 because of the strong correspondence. However, this episode is constituted by verses about Buddha’s expostulations in the Za ahan jing and other parallel texts, emphasizing the impassiveness and tranquility encouraged in Buddhist monks, which do not appear in AS. Concerning the plot, the Lalitavistara （Lal） shares several elements with AS. Nevertheless, AS differs from Lal in terms of perspectives. A striking difference noted is that Buddha does not transform Māra’s daughters into hags in AS, a suggestive curse found in Lal. In conclusion, AS followed the traditions of Lal in a more critical way.
