				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="pf-content"><p>I have published three works so far from my latest research on the Yavanajātaka. The two works in 2014/2013 replace the 2013 HSSA article:</p>
<p>•&#8221;The &#8216;oldest Indo-Greek text in Sanskrit&#8217; revisited &#8211; Additional Readings from the Newly Discovered Manuscript of the Yavanajātaka.&#8221; Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies印度學佛教學研究62, No.3 (2014): 1101-1105.<br />
•&#8221;The Last Chapter of Sphujidhvaja&#8217;s Yavanajātaka critically edited with notes&#8221;. SCIAMVS 14 (2013): 59-148.<br />
•&#8221;The Date and Nature of Sphujidhvaja&#8217;s Yavanajātaka reconsidered in the light of some newly discovered materials.” History of Science in South Asia 1 (2013): 1-20.</p>
<p>I will present another paper on the Yavanajātaka titled &#8220;A new edition of the Yavanajātaka based on the newly discovered manuscripts&#8221; at the upcoming 16th World Sanskrit Conference (Silpakorn University, Bangkok, Thailand. Jun 28 &#8211; Jul 2, 2015). In this paper, I will discussion the entire work as a whole and consolidate all the findings so far on this important document.</p>
<p>At the present, Prof. Yano Michio and myself are about to complete our 3-years reading of Utpala&#8217;s commentary on Varāhamihira&#8217;s Bṛhajjātaka. We plan to prepared an annotated translation of the BJ in Japanese. After this, we may start working on Mīnarāja&#8217;s Vṛddhayavanajātaka.</p>
<p>Just today I found an old thread in Skyskript discussing my 2013 work on the YJ: http://skyscript.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7500</p>
