シュリー・チャクラの描き方とヴィディヤーの抽出法 : NSA 1.1-119ab和訳

Kula tradition of Śākta Tantrism in India, which seems to arise about 9th century in Kashmir, is traditionally divided into four sub-traditions as follows; 1. Tradition of East India which worships Kuleśvarī as the main Goddess. 2. Tradition of North India which worships Guhyakālī as the main Goddess. 3. Tradition of West India which worships Kubujikā as the main Goddess. 4. Tradition of South India which worships Tripurasundarī as the main Goddess. In this paper I translate a Sanskrit text belonging to the tradition of South India, whose feature is the importance of Śrīcakra and Śrīvidyā in the worship of Tripurasundarī. According to this tradition three texts, i. e., the Nityāsodasīkārnava (9-10 cent.), the Yogīnlhrdaya (11-12 cent.), the Tantrārajatantra (14-15 cent.) have been considered to be most important. The Nityāsodasīkārnava, which I translate into Japanese in this paper, mainly treats an outer worship of Śrīcakra, and has been traditionally considered to be a pair work of the Yoginīhrdaya, which mainly treats an inner worship of Śrīcakra (a meditation of Śrīcakra). This Nityāsodasīkārnava consists of five chapters and contains 400 verses. The topics of each chapter are as follows;･ Chapter 1: Worship of Śrīcakra (188 verses). ･ Chapter 2: Mantra and Yantra (80 verses). ･ Chapter 3: Mudrā (28 verses). ･ Chapter 4: Sadhana of Goddesses (71 verses). ･ Chapter 5: Japa and Homa (33 verses). And the first chapter which I translate in this paper contains the following topics. 1. Invocation (1.1-12) 2. 64 Tantras (1.13-21) 3. 16 Nityā Goddesses (1.22-28) 4. How to draw Śrīcakra (1.29-76) 5. How to extract Vidyā (1.77-119ab) 6. Worship of Śrīcakra (1.119cd-188) This paper is a Japanese translation of 1.1-119ab of the Nityāsodasīkārnava
