A PADA INDEX AND REVERSE PADA INDEX TO EARLY PALI CANONICAL TEXTS
Suttanipata, Dhammapada, Theragatha, and Therigatha
Compiled by Moriichi Yamazaki and Yumi Ousaka
with a foreword by K. R. Norman
Now, for scholars of Buddhism
and Indian studies, this vitally needed index is available. The long-awaited
volume will help them analyze the four basic texts in early Buddhism of
the Pali canon, Suttanipata, Dhammapada, Theragatha, and Therigatha,
so that they can produce more accurate critical editions of them. The index
will also facilitate systematic textual analysis of vocabulary, structure,
meter, and the like. The compilers used personal computers to process a
huge volume of data from the early canonical texts.
MORIICHI YAMAZAKI, Litt. D., professor at Sendai National College of Technology, specializes in early Buddhism and Jainism. YUMI OUSAKA, D. Sc., also professor at Sendai National College of Technology, specializes in theoretical physics and computer analysis.
K. R. NORMAN is a professor emeritus of Cambridge University and a past president of the Pali Text Society.
