Transliteration Translation and Analysis of The Tipitakapāliabhidhāna (Vā – Vidhurajātaka)

Abstract

This dissertation has three objectives: (1) to translate the Tipitakapāliabhidhāna from the original Burmese Pali script into Thai Pali script, starting from Vā - Vidhurajātaka; (2) to translate the Tipitakapāliabhidhāna from Vā - Vidhurajātaka into Thai; (3) to study and analyze the Tipitaka-pāliabhidhāna in terms of history, phonetics, and the value of studying and analyzing Pali passages. This is a qualitative research study of documents by using the Tipitakapāli-abhidhāna in Burmese Pali script, volume 19, to translate and analyze the original chapters; and to analyze and classify the chapters and compile descriptive descriptions. The research found that:

      The Tipitakapāliabhidhāna is a dictionary type of text. The researcher has translated from Burmese Pali script into Thai Pali script. And translate only the first chapter, starting from (Vā - Vidhurajātaka) totaling 480 pages, along with studying and analyzing the history. He compiled it by bringing Pali texts from Tripitaka, Commentary, Commentary and various scriptures related to Buddhism, totaling 25 volumes, for the celebration of the 25th Buddhist Century by the group of monks, elders and officials of the Department of Religious Affairs from Burma.

      In analysis of Pali terms from a vocabulary aspect, compared the Pali vocabulary in the Abhidhāna with grammatical vocabulary texts, such as the Kaccāyana and Rūpasiddhi scriptures. The study involved constructing word forms, classifying vocabulary, translating meanings, and analyzing the Pali vocabulary in Tipitakapāliabhidhāna to highlight its value in terms of lexicography-such as the method of compiling Pali verses, exemplary sentences, and source citations. Additionally, it provides value to the current study of Pali according to Thai monastic curriculum in 3 aspects: (1) grammatical value, enabling an understanding of grammatical principles derived from term classification and related processes; (2) prosodic value, aiding in the identification of words with diverse meanings for accurate use in poetic composition, and (3) value for studying various scriptures, facilitating the comparison of vocabulary classification, citation of examples, and structuring of forms, following the model of the Tipitakapāliabhidhāna.
