Abstract
The name of the main character of the Sogdian version of the Vessantara Jataka, Sudhashn, was traditionally associated with a non-existen Sanskrit form Sudana. This article proposes to identify it, together with the Chinese forms of the name, with a form newly found in a Gandhari Buddhist text.File in questo prodotto:
