Dignāga on trairūpya Reconsidered:
A Reply to Prof. Oetke
243
The controversy between Oetke and me lies in the question whether Dignāga intended to insert the particle eva in the formula of the second characteristic (or 'condition' in Oetke's terminology) or not, the solution of which depends on how we should read PS II. 5cd and its Svavrtti. Therefore, I would like to give the two Tibetan versions of the above texts as well as a new literal translation of my own.
1. PS II. 5cd & Svavrtti 1.1. Kanakavarman's version (Kitagawa pp. 455b-456b) (Peking 111a6-111b1) tshul gsum rtags las zhes gang bstan pa de bshad par bya ste /
rjes d pag bya dang de mtshungs la
yod dang med la med pa'o // (PS II 5cd) rjes su dpag pa ni cho khyad par can gyi chos can yin te / (a7) de la dus phyis chos kyi spyi'i tshul gyis mngon sum nam rjes su dpag pas mthong ba'o // de'i rigs la yang mtha' dag gam phyogs cig yod pa nyid do /
de gang las zhe na / de dang mtshungs pa kho na la yod (a8) pa zhes nges par gzung ba'i phyir yin gyi yod pa kho na zhes ni ma yin no /
de ltar na med pa lam (Read la) med do zhes brjod pas mi bya'o zhe na / 'di ni med pa nyid la med pa yin gyi / gzhan pa la'ang ma yin 'gal ba la (111 b1) ma yin no zhes nges pa'i don du 'gyur ro) 'dir tshul gsum pa'i rtags gang las rtags can rtogs pa yin no
1.2. Vasudhararakṣita's version (Kitagawa pp. 455a-456a) (Derge 29a4-7=Peking 30a1-5) tshul gsum pa'i rtags zhes gang brjod pa de brjod par bya ste /
rjes {P: su} dpag bya dang de mthun la //
yod dang med nyid la med pa'o // (PS II. 5cd) rjes su dpag par bya ba ni chos kyi {P: kyis) khyad par du byas pa'i chos can no //
