Book Description
About the Book

Ravigupta's Āryākoşa is the most important and valuable among the eight nīti works that have been translated into Tibetan. It is a collection of 145 stanzas all of which, perhaps with the exception of the last stanza, no. 145, were composed in the Aryā metre, which gave the work its title. The work is available only in its Tibetan translation which was done in the ninth century AD and later incorporated into the Tanjur. Prof. Michael Hahn started working on this text as early as 1981 but did not publish it since there were many problems, which remained unsettled. After the publication of the Sanskrit text of Ravigupta's another niti text, namely Lokasamvyavahārapravṛtti he could find Sanskrit originals of all but two verses of the Aryakoșa. The text presented here is based on the edition and English translation prepared by Prof. Hahn. It includes the Tibetan text of the Aryakoşa together with the Sanskrit originals as found in the Lokasamvyavahārapravṛtti accompanied by their English translations.

Preface

It is our pleasure to present an edition of Ravigupta's Āryākoşa. Prof. Hahn started work on this text as early as 1981 but did not publish it since there were many problems that remained unsettled. This situation changed with the discovery of Ravigupta's other niti text, the Lokasamvyavaharapravetti wherein he found Sanskrit parallels of all but one verse of the Äryäkoşa. It seems that Hahn arrived at the decision to publish the text only after getting access to the Indian editions of the Lokasamvyavaharapravṛtti by N. SAHA (1986) and V. ŚASTRI (2012).
