Özet

Budist külliyata ilişkin metinlerin Eski Uygurcaya tercümesi Orta Asya Türk Budizmi’nin yazılı kaynaklarının oluşmasında önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Mahāyāna Budizmi ve Mahāyāna’nın bir formu olarak gelişen, büyü ve ritüel gibi ayine ilişkin uygulamaları ihtiva eden Ezoterik Budizm’e ait metinler de bunlar arasında yer alır. Bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturan Ezoterik Budist inanç ve uygulamalara ilişkin unsurları ihtiva eden dhāraṇī sūtralardan biri de Sanskritçe Ārya-sarva-durgati-pariśodhana-uṣṇīṣavijayā-nāma-dhāraṇī’dir. Eski Uygurca Ārya-sarva-durgati-pariśodhana-uṣṇīṣavijayā-nāmadhāraṇī Berlin-Brandenburg Bilimler Akademisi’ndeki Turfan Koleksiyonu’nda saklanan blok baskı fragmanlardan oluşmaktadır. F.W.K. Müller tarafından Uigurica II içerisinde neşredilmiş olan bu Eski Uygurca eser Berlin Turfan Koleksiyonu’nda bulunan blok baskı metinler temelinde hazırlanmıştır. Müller neşrinin temelini oluşturan bu fragmanlara ek olarak metne ait olan bugün Berlin Turfan Koleksiyonu’nda U 2378a (T I T 301.500) arşiv numarasıyla korunan bir yazma fragman da mevcuttur. Bu yazma fragmanın neşri ve tercümesi temelinde, bu yazı şimdiye kadar yayımlanmamış olan yazmayı tanıtmayı, mevzubahis metne ilişkin açıklamalarda bulunmayı ve metnin dizininin hazırlanmasını amaçlamaktadır.
