AbstractThe Vinaya, both a genre of Buddhist canonical texts and a specific text itself, essentially consists of the rules governing Buddhist monastic life. It is often described as a monastic law code. Some vinaya texts include not only monastic rules but also narrative stories. There are stories that outline how and why the Buddha established the rules, as well as ones which, although relating to Buddhist teachings, have little to do with the rules. These narrative stories frequently parallel ones preserved in other genres of Buddhist literature, such as the Āgama and the Avadāna. The vinaya texts are, therefore, often used as an informative resource for understanding not only Buddhist monasticism but also Buddhist narrative literature in early India. The Muktaka of the Mūlasarvāstivāda-vinaya, the principal source for this paper, has received little attention from those who study Buddhist narrative literature, despite it undoubtedly being a canonical vinaya text and preserving several narrative stories. In this paper, I focus on the beginning of the Muktaka, which contains a series of narrative stories about quarrels between a young monk and an old monk, the latter of whom becomes so furious that he is reborn as a poisonous snake. The Tibetan translation of these stories include two clichés, which are known as “the Buddhaʼs salvation” and “the Buddhaʼs smile emitting rays of light,” and a partial parallel to “Kṛṣṇasarpa” of the Avadānaśataka. To elucidate the significance of the Muktaka for research on Buddhist narrative literature, I provide full translations of these stories and some annotations.
