Public bibliography
A citation is not just a name. The catalogue states the source type, date, locator, public link when available, what the source contributes, and what it does not establish.
Cross_History_Thread_of_Truth.md; separately frozen history packages
The project comparison layer connects independently audited source families without merging their claims.
Boundary: A synthesis is not a primary witness and cannot fill a source’s silence.
PTS I:42, I:64–75, I:119; controlled Gate 1 and Gate 2 records
The governing PTS stream separates direct main text, explicit Dīpavaṃsa quotation, apparatus, and non-geographic lexical hits.
Boundary: It does not provide a connected Anotatta map, seven lakes, or animal-mouth directions.
Ja 514 (Chaddanta), Ja 536 (seven lakes), Ja 485 and Ja 504 (kinnara settings)
Narrative landscapes are held as their own family so individual stories cannot silently rewrite the Samantapāsādikā baseline.
Boundary: A landscape in one Jātaka is not automatically a universal Himavanta layout.
Vol. 1 p. 94; Vol. 3 p. 157; bounded occurrence and claim ledgers
This medieval Vinaya subcommentary contains the largest connected Anotatta drainage dossier in the audited Pāli-area material.
Boundary: The exposition is compilational/inherited in parts and is not a surveyed watershed.
Gāndhārī birch-bark manuscript; presumed Haḍḍa findspot
The earliest securely dated physical witness in this corpus preserves fragmentary lake-journey and four-direction-water material.
Boundary: A findspot is not the location of the lake; fragments are not a complete narrative.
Open source ↗S01, S03, S07 in History 03 Run 1 control package
The witnesses retain their own dimensions, Gandhamādana relations, river wording, and nāga claims.
Boundary: Their measurements and spatial expressions must not be averaged into one diagram.
T23, T24, T25, T197, T199, T2087; History 04 source manifest
Translations and Xuanzang/Bianji’s record create witness-specific Kunlun, river, mountain, and animal-direction configurations.
Boundary: Source-reported geography is not a modern field survey and does not erase other variants.
1113 Śaka consecration; Neak Pean, Angkor
The inscription identifies the royal reservoir and island complex that later scholarship relates to Anavatapta imagery.
Boundary: K. 908 does not name the monument Anavatapta.
Open source ↗Jayavarman VII’s Angkor complex: central basin, island, and four satellite pools
A measurable sacred-water monument associated with Jayataṭāka and the island called Rājyaśrī in K. 908.
Boundary: Built form can be compared with cosmographic traditions; it does not prove a single textual source or label.
1689 Chiang Mai lead; 1778 complete witness; 1912 print; 1983 governing edition
The Thai cosmographic tradition is layered rather than a transparent surviving 1345 autograph.
Boundary: No sentence in the governing edition should automatically be dated to 1345.
Open source ↗Anotatta at fols. 35v–36v; six-metre public project section
An eighteenth-century Thonburi cosmogram with an object-specific animal-direction arrangement.
Boundary: The surviving manuscript’s relationship to the 1776 commission remains disputed; this site does not reproduce unlicensed imagery.
Open source ↗History 09 Gate 1/2 creature provenance and corpus controls
The ledger separates court procession, royal crematorium, architectural, Lanna funeral, and later catalogue traditions.
Boundary: A later creature catalogue does not establish an early textual habitat or a universal ancient taxonomy.
Toh 156 and controlled regional expansion records
Tibetan traditions associate sacred mountain and lake geographies with canonical material while preserving internal objections.
Boundary: “Often identified with Manasarovar” is not proof of original geographic identity.
Open source ↗Hōryūji 1364, Hotan 1710, Kyoto 1828, and related object controls
Maps preserve Buddhist cosmography while their surrounding geographic frames change over centuries.
Boundary: No single Japanese map is a universal Buddhist world diagram.
Painted parabaik, palm-leaf, vertical moral sequence, and continent-map witnesses
Burmese visual traditions repeatedly retain mountain, water, animal-head, and river motifs in changing media.
Boundary: Unaudited labels and restricted research images are not used for claim-level assertions here.
Dambulla Cave 3 and Kottimbulvala object records
The corpus records object-specific animal-mouth waters and elaborated river treatments in Kandyan mural traditions.
Boundary: Undocumented or unreviewed mural detail is not reconstructed on this site.
Religions 11(3):134
Open-access scholarship useful for cross-regional Anavatapta and Japanese map reception.
Boundary: Its interpretations are identified as scholarship, distinct from the source objects.
Open source ↗Open-access specialist article on the Berlin Traiphum project
Specialist context for the six-metre public presentation of the Berlin manuscript.
Boundary: The article does not substitute for a transcription of the full 33-metre manuscript.
