Attempts have been made to correct the text of the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha on the basis of the texts that its author used—and sometimes refers to by name—while composing his work. This procedure is promising in texts like the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha, which makes abundant use of other works, and might in principle give results that are independent of, and prior to, the detailed study of its manuscripts. A closer investigation shows that this procedure is not without risks, and may occasionally give rise to unjustified “corrections”. The article shows that quotations in the Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha deviate from their source-texts in numerous cases. It further illustrates that the archetype underlying the manuscripts used for the available editions on occasion demonstrably differs from what must have been the text’s autograph. Other cases demonstrate that already the autograph sometimes deviated from its source-texts. The article concludes that careless “correcting” of the text may have serious consequences and can stand in the way of its correct interpretation.

更正 Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha 的文本

已经尝试根据作者在撰写他的作品时使用的文本（有时以名称引用）来更正 Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha 的文本。这个程序在像 Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha 这样的文本中很有希望，它大量使用了其他作品，并且原则上可能会给出独立于并先于对其手稿的详细研究的结果。更仔细的调查表明，此程序并非没有风险，有时可能会导致不合理的“更正”。文章表明，在许多情况下，Sarvadarśanasaṃgraha 中的引文与其源文本有所不同。它进一步说明，用于现有版本的手稿的原型有时明显不同于文本的亲笔签名。其他案例表明，签名有时已经偏离其源文本。文章的结论是，粗心的“更正”文本可能会产生严重后果，并会妨碍其正确解释。
