Abstract This paper attempts to compare the astronomical content of the Chinese Buddhist texts with the extant Indian astronomical works in Sanskrit, and to thereby analyze the development of Indian astronomy from a historical and text-critical perspective. Based on this analysis, the author points out that Indian astronomy may be divided largely into three periods: 1. Old (Vedic peroid to 3rd century CE); 2. Transitional (ca. 6th century), and; 3. New (8th century onward). Within the Chinese Buddhist corpus, each of these three peroids is characterized by different equinoctial coordinate (vernal equinox), astral system and descriptions of asterisms and planets and so on. This paper focuses in particular on the Mahasamnipatasutra which demonstrates the transitional nature of Indian astronomy between the 4th and 6th century and how such transformation might have taken place.

本文以漢譯佛經為出發點,對現存梵語印度天文學典籍進行比對,並從歷史與文獻角度分析印度天文學的發展軌跡。作者指出印度天文學大致可分為三個階段,分別為前期(吠陀時代至公元三世紀)、過渡期(約六世紀)和後期(八世紀後),其中每一階段在漢譯佛經都反映出不同的春分點座標、星占系統、宿曜描述等具標誌性的內容。本文以《大集經》為例,說明印度天文學於四至六世紀如何轉型,並在轉型期的佛教文獻中留下各種線索。
