摘要
The article contains an edition and translation with metrical analysis, commentary, and glossary of the Old Khotanese fragmentary folio IOL Khot 7/7 (Kha. 0012a), which deals with the selflessness of phenomena, refers to the Ratnaketu(parivarta), and mentions the prattyātmaggaucara‑ ‘realm of inner realisation (of a Tathāgata)’ and the ttathāggataggarbha‑ ‘germ of a Tathāgata’. The article suggests that it contains verses 15.73–84 of the Book of Zambasta and offers reinterpretations and etymologies of the rare words ggrrī‑ ‘person’ < Iranian *grī%ā‑ (cf. Sogdian γryw) and haṃjsārrā‑ (collective) ‘carving tools’ < Iranian *ham-čarθ-nā‑ from the root *kart‑ ‘to cut’.
