Buddhakhetta and Buddhāpadāna
By Mr. Dwijendralal Barua, M.A.
[Editor’s Note: the original of this essay and translation appeared in an obscure Volume in Honour of B.C. Law that was published by the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute in Poona, India in 1946. It has seemed so valuable to me that I have ventured to reproduce it. I have been unable to trace the copyright holders, but if someone is claiming copyright and doesn’t want it published here I will take it down immediately.
For the electronic publication I have made a few small changes to the printed text as noted here: original page numbers are printed in square brackets; sometimes words have been added in square brackets to either complete the sense, or add information I judge to be relevant; Mr. Barua distinguished between long vowels that had been formed via sandhi, and those that are naturally long, that distinction is lost here;
one comment, that was in the text in the printed edition has been moved to the notes; and I have corrected one or two small spelling mistakes.]
