小藏文典: 1. 东方雪山之歌

He, whose body blazes with the marks and beauties (as of a Buddha), Whose speech is adorned with the sixty branches of melody, Whose deep and wide mind, indeed, is a treasury of omniscient love, May that glorious teacher’s blessing be on us.

以"愿上师三密 (身语意) 吉祥加持"四行收束全诗——典型的格鲁派寺院常用收束格式, 但全书真正的"情节"是 56 行颂诗被 2100+ 行词典注释包裹起来的反向戏剧——plot 65。

To the unfathomable great treasury of love, the Down-Looking-One (Chenresi, Avalokiteshvara), To the immaculate Lord of knowledge, Sweet-voice (Jamyang, Mañjughosha), To the subduer of the hosts of devils without exception, the Master of Mysteries (Chanadorje, Vajrapāṇi), To that crown-jewel of Tibetan sages, Tsoṅ kʽa pa, To the feet of that (or: thee, o!) Famous Goodheart (Lozangtakpa, Sumatikīrti), we pray.

把观世音 / 文殊 / 金刚手三怙主与 Tsoṅ kʽa pa 同体化现——三层神祇 + 两层格鲁派祖师 = cast 78。

These two latter variants may be due to deterioration in the blocks or the roughness of the paper, or defective inking.

校勘段把一首 56 行诗扩展成对木刻 A1/A2/B 三版二十余处逐字差异的辨析——把"诗"强行压成"考据", 节奏反差极大; pace 72。

So the good story is told of a lazy Lama who, to get rid of the crowd, said: "And now I give my hand-blessing to you all 'in thought,'" whereupon a disappointed and angry pilgrim answered: "Well, then I give you my butter-offerings, which I have brought with me, also 'in thought.'"

van Manen 用一则 1900 年代藏地寺院口语趣闻作为 དམིགས་པ་ ("在思中") 一词的语义考据——把 philological edition 写成"教义+民俗+口语"三层散文, prose 82。

In that entirely victorious Virtue Solitude, There resided the precious ones, difficult to be invoked, Father Famous Goodheart, the Sire with (his two spiritual) sons.

"胜慧独修处" (Virtue Solitude / དགེ་ལྡན་རྣམ་པར་རྒྱལ་བ་) 是 14 世纪 Tsoṅ kʽa pa 创格鲁派于札什伦布前的修行地——把"寺院神学地点"与"加尔各答 1919 年出版语境"两世界并置; world 90。

On the peak of the white snow mountain in the East A white cloud seems to be rising towards the sky. At the instant of beholding it I remember my teacher And, pondering over his kindness, faith stirs in me.

"东方雪山之上, 一朵白云似向天空升起, 我一看到便忆起我的上师"——把"山+云+忆念"三步锁在第一颂, 钩子干净; hook 78。

The following essay is a first contribution towards an attempt to serve such an ideal.

van Manen 自觉定位为"未来藏语 philological scholarship 的第一块砖"——把一首寺院祈祷文做成 A/B 两版逐字校勘 + 三家英藏词典比对 + 藏人口语校注的范本——1919 年印度学的"小字典范"; innov 88。

May that glorious teacher’s blessing be on us.

以一句"愿此吉祥上师加持永驻"收束颂诗本身, 是格鲁派寺院通用收束; 但全书 3455 行的真正尾声是校勘变体表 + 懒喇嘛"思中供养"趣闻——以口语反讽作学术书收束, 余味在民俗而非教义; ending 76。
