This paper introduces one Kuchean (i.e. Tocharian B) fragment housed in the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, Russian Academy of Sciences. The fragment has been identified as part of the Hariścandrāvadāna. This narrative is in the sixth chapter of the Daśakarmapathāvadānamālā in Old Uyghur. The colophon of this compilation in Old Uyghur states that it was translated from the Tocharian A translation, which itself had been translated from the Tocharian B original. The comparison between this newly identified Kuchean fragment of the Hariścandrāvadāna and the Old Uyghur version reveals that in both, discrepancies and parallel parts are observable. Thus, whether this Kuchean fragment belongs to the Kuchean version of the Daśakarmapathāvadānamālā or is part of the compilation of Buddhist legends in Kuchean remains uncertain.

The concept of dravya is used both in Buddhism and Brāhmaṇical systems of philosophy, but its meanings there are quite different. According to Vaiśeṣika as one of the Brāhmaṇical systems dravya is a real substance independent of any knowing subject and reality is constituted by relations between substances. In Yogācāra Buddhism, on the opposite, substances are regarded as mere designations existing only in dependence of a knowing subject. Any entity may be treated as a substance or a mere conceptualization depending on a concrete situation with the perspective of nirvāṇa.

Categories such as “the Berbers” and “the Arabs” are historical. Their production, maintenance, and reproduction occur under particular circumstances. As circumstances change, so do these categories. The role of Arabs in the Medieval History of Maghreb is usually exaggerated. A number of Berber powerful dynasties emerged during Middle Ages in Maghreb and al-Andalus. This report is motivated by the desire to trace the process of the conquest of al-Andalus at the beginning of the 8th c. As we speak about al-Andalus it worth noting that the Muslims who entered Iberia in 711 were mainly Berbers, and were led again by a Berber, Tariq ibn Ziyad. May we claim that Berbers formed approximately 65–70% or at least the major part of the Islamic population in Iberia that time? That was the question that had pushed me to the research. I argue that it’s true, considering the analysis of the military structure of Arab-Berber army, the comparison that would be made on basis of the sources related to the topic, from the point of view of Berbers position in the power hierarchy in Iberia, and through the description of the cultural and historical background. This study provides an important opportunity to advance the understanding of the role of the Berbers in the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, who may be were the ones who tipped the scales in the favor of Arabs’ tribes.
像“柏柏尔人”和“阿拉伯人”这样的分类是历史的。它们的产生、维持和繁殖都是在特定的环境下进行的。随着环境的变化,这些分类也在变化。阿拉伯人在马格里布中世纪历史中的作用通常被夸大了。中世纪的马格里布和安达卢斯出现了许多柏柏尔人强大的王朝。本报告的动机是追溯公元8世纪初安达卢斯被征服的过程。当我们谈到安达卢斯时,值得注意的是,711年进入伊比利亚的穆斯林主要是柏柏尔人,领导他们的也是柏柏尔人Tariq ibn Ziyad。我们是否可以声称柏柏尔人占伊比利亚当时伊斯兰人口的65% - 70%,或者至少是主要部分?正是这个问题促使我进行这项研究。我认为这是正确的,考虑到对阿拉伯-柏柏尔军队的军事结构的分析,根据与主题相关的资料,从柏柏尔人在伊比利亚的权力等级中的地位的角度,通过对文化和历史背景的描述,进行比较。这项研究提供了一个重要的机会来促进对柏柏尔人在征服伊比利亚半岛中所起作用的理解,他们可能是使天平向有利于阿拉伯部落倾斜的人。
