This is mostly my compilation (though I have used material from
http://www.acmuller.net/ddb/index.html ) on the basis of Chinese
translation of Vimuttimagga, English translation of it, research
articles on Vimuttimagga, and indeed Visuddhimagga.
The appropriate bibliography can be found at:
http://faculty.washington.edu/kpotter/xtxt.html#1. (number 123.1)
The Samskrtasamskrtaviniscaya by Shamathadeva has extensive quotations
from Vimuttimagga in much better Tibetan translation. Studying it I have
compiled Tibetan-Pali glossary.
Both Chinese translation of Vimuttimagga and Tibetan translation of
Samskrtasamskrtaviniscaya are available on-line. I can also provide to
anyone these texts with a lot of the words replaced by Pali equivalents.
I think that the Pali reconstruction of early Chinese and Tibetan
translation gives them much more meaningful and rich context than any
translation. Hopefully these glossaries will help to start a work
similar to Muller's Digital Dictionary of Buddhism, but relating to Pali.
Best regards,
Dmytro
