Abstract | In my previous paper (Hori 2019), I have established the exact date of the Pañcarakṣā manuscript copied in the regnal year 39 of Rāmapāla in the Catherine Glynn Benkaim Collection as Thursday, August 2, 1117 CE (= 6th solar day of the solar Bhādrapada). If the date is the first day of the regnal year 39, the accession of Rāmapāla should fall on August 2, 1079 CE (= 6th solar day of the solar Bhādrapada). If the date is the last day of the 39th regnal year, his accession should fall on August 3, 1078 CE (= 7th solar day of the solar Bhādrapada). Therefore, it is possible to narrow down the possible period of Rāmapāla’s accession to August 3, 1078 CE to August 2, 1079 CE. Based on the possible period of the accession, we can also narrow down the possible period of each regnal year. Abhayākaragupta is known as a Buddhist scholar-monk active during the reign of Rāmapāla, and his three works record the year of authorship of each work in the regnal year of Rāmapāla. Gudrun Bühnemann (1991 & 1992) attempts to date the three works on the basis of various historical works referring to the Pāla chronology. It is now possible to narrow down the years of authorship of the three works on the basis of the established date of the Pañcarakṣā manuscript. |
