Abstract

Bîrûnî, Hint kültürünün kapılarını Türk-İslam dünyasına açmıştır. O, ön-celikle Hint dillerini öğrenmiş, Hint alt kıtasına yapılan seferlere katılmış ve Hintli bilginlerle müzakereler yapmıştır. O, Hint medeniyetini ele aldığı meşhur eseri Tahkik’in hazırlıklarını yaparken Hint dünyasında ciddi bir öneme sahip olan Patanjali kitabının çevirisini yapmıştır. Böylelikle mistik Hint düşüncesinin özüne vakıf olmayı hedeflemiştir. Aşağıdaki satırlarda ilk olarak onun “Kitâbu Batenceli'l-Hindî” isimli eserinin biçimsel nitelik-leri, yazılış nedeni ve önemi üzerinde duracağız. Daha sonra, çevirinin gü-nümüzdeki Yogasutra olup olmadığına dair kısa bir değerlendirme yapacağız. Son olarak da, bu risalenin tahkikli ve orijinal nüshasından kar-şılaştırmalı çevirisini sunacağız.

Abstract

Al-Biruni introduced the Indian culture to the Turkish-Islamic world. He learned Indian languages, had journeys to the Indian subcontinent and had conversation with Indian sages.

Finally we will present the trans-lation of this booklet by using critical edition of Ritter and orijinal manusicript compatatively.
