No. 33.-A NOTE ON THE PRATITYA SAMUTPADA SUTRA.
By P. C. Bagchi, M.A., D. ès-lettres ; CALCUTTA. . The small Sanskrit Buddhist text here published by Dr. Chakravarti is of considerable interest for the student of Buddhism. The colophon of the text contained in one of the bricks runs thus-Pratityasamutpädaḥ samāptah. The text contains an enumeration of the causes of "dependent production," their definition and division (vibhanga). The complete title of the text was apparently, either Pralityasamutpāda-sūtra or Prattītya-samutpāda-sūtra-vibhanga.
Though the original text was unknown till now we were acquainted with it through the fragment of a commentary of Vasubandhu discovered from Nepal and published by Prof. Tucci. 12 Only six leaves of the complete manuscript were found in the admirable collection of His Holiness the Rajaguru Hēmarāja Sarma. They contain fragments of Vasubandhu's commentary on the five vibhangas : avidyā, vēdanā, trishņā, upādāna and bhava. This commentary is preserved 1 A has a punctuation mark here.
