安然의 『悉曇藏』에 나타난 慧均의『大乘四論玄義記』 卷第11 「十四音義」 ‒ 「十四音義」의 복원을 위한 序說 ‒

Abstract

It is believed that Volume 11 of the Daeseung saron hyeonui gi, written by Hyegyun, originally consisted of three sections: Geroui, Sipsaeumui and Sasildanui. However, it is impossible to know exactly the content of the full version because it no longer exists. Fortunately, it was recently discovered that a significant portion of the section Sipsaeumui was quoted in Annen’s Shittanzō. Annen was an esoteric Tendai Japanese monk and a significant figure in Japanese esoteric Tendai Buddhism. Annen cited a man named Kim [Kim Ye-Sin] as the leader who spread Japanese GO-On (吳音) in Japan, and Annen also referred to Daeseung saron hyeonui gi in his book Shittanzō. Buddhism flourished in Japan during the 8th and 9th centuries, a period referenced in GO-On texts that are cited in Volume 11 of Daeseung saron hyeonui gi. In other words, Sipsaeumui is based on GO-On. GO-On contributed to formation of the modern Japanese language as much as WA-ON (和音) did, a dialect spoken by the ancient Japanese. That is one reason Annen cited Hyegyun’s Sipsaeumui in his Shittanzō. Also, in studies of Japanese siddhaṃ, GO-On played an important role as a foundation. This paper introduces the concentrations of appendix to Volume 11 of Daeseung saron hyeonui gi cited in Annen’s Shittanzō, which is the primary basis of GO-On and the linguistic foundation for Japanese siddhaṃ studies. My hope is that the original content of Sipsaeumui may be recovered through this paper.
