Working draft in Chinese
Scripture collation
This section is written in Chinese.
It holds, for each entry: the Devanagari text, an IAST transliteration, the Chinese phonetic rendering as transmitted, the source (sutra, fascicle, Taishō number), and the variant readings — with the base text and each witness marked entry by entry. No entry claims to be the single correct form: a mantra genuinely differs between Chinese, Tibetan and Sanskrit witnesses, and writing it as one version would be both inaccurate and impossible to maintain. Wording is therefore limited to traceable formulae such as ‘this entry follows’ and ‘see also’.
An English index is planned once the first entries stabilise. Until then the working draft — format and progress — is the Chinese page.
