The Kern-Nanjio edition (KN), a standard text commonly used in the study of the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka (SP), has many deficiencies in its editing method. To solve this problem, an analysis of the vocabulary, word forms, word usage, transcription, prosody, etc. (linguistic analysis) of all the manuscripts (67 types) is necessary, but this analysis is inadequate. Therefore, this study aims to complement the KN and presents a research agenda for compiling a collection of SP manuscripts for the KN based on a comprehensive linguistic analysis of the SP manuscripts using a language analysis program developed independently with a research collaborator (an information engineer).
