Abstract

The research activities on the Mokṣopāya (MU) and related texts in the last decade have produced interesting results: a large number of manuscripts could be examined through which the history of the transmission became more transparent; new versions were found and the date and localization of the earliest text, the Mokṣopāya, could be settled. Some of these results are for the first time presented in the subsequent articles. But also for those not directly involved in the field, these results when placed in a wider context can be of value, since the processes involved are not untypical for the development of research in historiography of Indian literature.
