EnglishMaitrīya, in Kv 〔2.2〕 the last of a rather short list of Bodhisattvas
we should expect the name of Maitreya (1) here, and probably the text has a mere error or misprint for it. More curious however is Divy 〔326.9—11〕 eṣa eva devate sa (separate from the next) pṛṣṭhībhūto Maitrīyo yo vyāghryā ātmānaṃ parityajya catvāriṃśatkalpasaṃprasthito Maitreyo bodhisattva ekena śiraḥparityāgenāvapṛṣṭhīkṛtaḥ
here, if the text is correct, Maitrīya would seem to be the name of Maitreya in an earlier birth
but the passage is otherwise puzzling. On the basis of these two passages should we recognize Maitrīya as a real variant (like Maitraka, q.v.) for Maitreya (1)?
