摘要

Sādhananidhi (Storehouse of Sādhanas), whose authorship is attributed to Kambala, is a commentary (pañjikā) on the Buddhist Tantra named He-rukābhidhāna (Discourse of Heruka), which is the earliest scripture of the Saṃvara scriptural corpus. This study presents the first critical Sanskrit edition of Chapter 1 of Sādhananidhi, its English translation, and a list of parallel and closely related passages from other works. Currently, two Sanskrit manuscripts are available to develop a critical edition; the older of them was written in an old Bengali script around the twelfth century. The composition of Sādhananidhi probably dates back to the second half of the 10th century before the completion of Abhidhānottara (Continuation of the Discourse; another Tantra of the Saṃvara corpus) and after the composition of the version of Herukābhidhāna with 51 chapters and that of Vajraḍāka (Adamantine Ḍāka; a Tantra of the Saṃvara corpus). Several common topics are addressed in Chapter 1 of Sādhananidhi, other major Tantras, and the works of scholarly monks such as Ratnākaraśānti, who was active during the first half of the 11th century. There is the possibility that Sādhananidhi was used as a reference by Ratnākaraśānti while composing his Guṇavatī (Endowed with Virtues) and Muktāvalī (A String of Pearls).
