Advayavajra’s <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tattvaratnāvalī</Emphasis>: A Newly Revised Critical Edition

The following article presents a fully revised critical edition of Advayavajra’s Tattvaratnāvalī, one of the earliest and most influential texts that can be accredited to the genre of Buddhist siddhānta literature. In this text Advayavajra not only reveals his own overall perception of the Indian Buddhist schools of the eleventh century, but also supplies manifold insights into the various tenets of Buddhist philosophy (Vaibhā?ika, Sautrāntika, Yogācāra and Mādhyamika), providing the first key for anyone interested in entering the vast spheres of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies. This newly revised edition takes into account new textual material which to this day has never been taken into consideration. Further parallels to other texts have been identified. And thus, it was possible to improve upon several passages in the previous editions.
