T R A N S L A T O R S IN TR O D U CTIO N In 1883 the firm of W illiam s & Norgate (as it was then called) published the fifth volume of the Vinaya-pitakarh in the Pali language edited b y Hermann Oldenberg. This was the con cluding volume of his fine and careful edition of the whole of the Vinaya. It is devoted almost exclusively to Parivara, a work which, so far as I know, has not been translated into English before now. I have undertaken the task for the sake of completing m y translation of the Vinaya, called The Book of the Discipline, the first five volumes of which were published between 1938 and 1952 in the Sacred Books of the Buddhists. It would be possible, I think, to fathom the Parivara without access to either the Suttavibhanga or the Khandhakas and indeed I believe that in some Buddhist countries the monastic disciple has to learn it before he studies these other.parts. To follow it is another matter. To do so, the relevant portions of the Suttavibhanga and the Khandhakas should be at hand. Throughout this translation, therefore, I have been at pains to supply all references possible to these two major parts of Vin. These references are to Oldenbergs Vinayapitakam, vols. i-iv, and to m y Book of the Discipline, vols. i-v . Here, as has been most kindly said, notes m ay " be found copiously .1 They have not been repeated in this final volume. The meaning of the word Parivara presents difficulties as do the nature and purpose of the work. Basically, pari- means all round, surrounding; and vara is time, opportunity; the Sanskrit lexicons also give, for vara, " anything which covers or surrounds, a cover ; a multitude, quantity and " a cover, covering, surroundings . . . The idea that the Parivara surrounds, encircles or encompasses thus presents itself, the core of its interest being the material of the Suttavibharigas and the Khandhakas ; it is these that it is concerned with and encompasses. Apart from those few passages which, in the impressive Chapter V I of the Parivara, the E kuttaraka, have more in

common with Ang.1 than w ith V in ., th e P a riva ra adheres most rem arkably closely to V in . m aterial. I t covers the various matters dealt with in the K h an d h akas no less th an in the sik.kha.pada, or disciplinary rules o f training to be found in the Suttavibhangas, and follows the words used in them , as w ell as those in the various narratives leading to their form ulation and those in the Old Com m entarys explan ations of the term s used. It also follows the recognized order of th e sikkhapada with precision. A pparently om itting nothing helpful, necessary or essential to a m astery of Vinaya, it " covers th e Discipline b y encompassing it, going all round it and all through it, discarding matters of less consequence in the process, and com ing down to the bare rock, the d ry bones. Y e t, even w ith ou t a single story and without an y hum an seasoning or h in t of contem porary manners and customs, how far from d r y is this b o n y skeleton that so carefully displays the structure of Vinaya which, as the dyu of the Buddhas sasana ,s is its life-giver and source of vitality. References to the Buddha are likew ise v e r y scarce. The opening Chapters of the two P a riva ra V ib hangas begin with the words, repeated for every sikkhapada, " B y th e L ord who knows and sees, arahant, Perfect B u d d h a . . . Otherwise, except for one or tw o form al allusions to Him (such as " Anglrasa the Sakyan Sage and K insm an of the Sun , or the more unusual epithets anantadassin and vivekadassin on text p. 97), w e hardly m eet w ith m ore than conventional references to Him. F or exam ple, in H is recorded conversations with Upali there is the statem ent th a t 294 rules were made at Savatthi b y the famed G otam a (V IH .r , ver. 27), and in the one and only citation of words P a riva ra ascribes to Him, but not y e t traced in full, He is called B h a ga va . H e had indeed almost ceased to be or had not begun to be th e cen tral figure.4 Clearly the Parivara, which is v e r y lik e ly a m anual for students and instructors, centres not on persons, b u t on monastic disciplinary and legislative affairs draw n from the V ibhangas and Khandhakas. It is m ade clear a t P a riv a ra I . i and I I .1 that the authoritative pronouncem ents on these affairs th at

had been ascribed to the Buddha, and to the Buddha only, are simply being repeated here. The delivery of some Discourses in the Suttapfyaka is assigned to this disciple or that, whether or not it finally received the Buddhas commendation. But not the Vinaya. No disciple is recorded to have furnished or imparted any surviving sikkhapada or other (Khandhaka) material. The laying down an d th e regulating of the whole of the discipline for monastic disciples emerges as the work and as the word of the Buddha alone.1 But Parivara in its existent form lays no claim to being Buddhavacana, however much this is its basis. As the Niddesa, a commentarial work, has crept into the Pali Canon, so Parivara has become included in it and ranks as part of it. There is nothing to say that Parivara was compiled before the rest of the Vinaya-pitaka. Indeed, such evidence as there is seems to point in the contrary direction. In their Introduc tion to Vinaya Texts, vol. i, p. xxiii-xxiv, Rhys Davids and Oldenberg say " The reader will notice that in the foregoing discussion no mention is made of the Fifth Book in the present division of the Vinaya-pitaka the J&rivara-patha. The reason is that this work, an abstract of the other parts of the Vinaya, is in fact a very much later compilation, and probably the work of a Ceylonese Thera .2 They then draw attention to the stanzas at the end of Parivara in which his name is given as Dlpa. It seems to me that the only way in which it can be truly regarded as an abstract of these other parts is that they are its source and its subject-matter, so huge that part of its purpose is to reduce them to manageable proportions. Though it has one or two points of its own to add, chiefly in the way of emphasis, and employs a relatively few number of words not found in them,* one of Parivaras chief methods in thus reducing Vin. would appear to be by drawing up categories and classifications, ahd bringing forward matters that, though occurring in these other parts, still might remain somewhat hidden and be overlooked simply because they are not organized and collected there. It must have seemed important to the

Parivara compiler to gather all these matters together so as to give them the full weight due to them. In his invaluable D ictionary of Pali Proper Names,1 Dr. G. P. Malalasekera makes the interesting conjecture that perhaps the Parivara correspond to the m atika of the Abhidhamma and were enlarged later I take this to mean that an outline Parivara, one consisting of " headings , preceded the other parts of the Vinaya, th at these other parts were elaborated from this guide which then itself, some time later, became expanded and more fu lly treated. On the other hand, it is possible th at, because of the Vinaya 's vast proportions and immense importance, it was found advisable to add, not before but after it had been compiled, some kind of summary of m atter that had been pulled out of Vinaya itself, and to arrange various of its salient and other features in an orderly manner so as to preclude any danger of their eclipse or oblivion owing to the mere fact that some of them are widely scattered or not worked out in detail in these other parts of Vinaya. Frauwallner speaks of the Parivara as an appendix, com parable to the E kottara in the V inaya of the Dharmaguptaka, that is it is attached to the two parts of whicji Vinaya consists : the Suttavibhariga and the Khandhakas.* In calling it also a collection of addenda 3 he indicates that in his opinion it was later in date than the other parts. Lam otte, too, regards Parivara as an appendix in sixteen sections and nineteen chapters and E . J. Thomas as " a supplement containing summaries and classifications of the rules I have also seen Parivara called " a digest of the entire V in aya P itaka , setting forth the method of teaching Vinaya. Indeed, to provide a manual for instructors and students m ay well have been a reason for its compilation. In its short Envoi Parivara says some interesting things

about it s e lf : it is a cutter off of doubt, through its medium the True Dham m a and Discipline shine forth. Further, Parivara means all th a t was said as to subject-m atter (vatthu), and as to meaning b y m eaning in the True Dhamma (or, the true rule, also dhamma), and as to rule b y rule in w hat was laid down. Then, rather begging the question of the meaning of the word Parivara in this context, the Envoi declares th at it encom passes (fiarivaresi) the Dispensation as the ocean (encompasses, surrounds) India " , thus suggesting that its compiler regarded it as an *' encompasser It does not appear that the Vinaya of a n y other sect or school had a Parivara, at least not anything on the lines of the Pali Parivara or anything that has come to light yet. This lends considerable weight to the prudence of regarding the Pali P arivara as an appendix to a finished work rather than as a m atika if this be taken as the m atrix from which the rest of the Vinaya sprang, and thus might have been common to more than one sect. E ven so, w hether as an abstract, a m atika (or original table of contents), a list of headings not yet filled out, a mere aide-memoire, whether as an epitome or digest, or whether as a very useful supplement or appendix, the P arivara is not s h o r t; nor is it entirely urirepetitive : though it is businesslike, thorough, and relatively concise, still it remains lengthy. The Vinaya in fact cannot be reduced to a brief statement nor compressed into a small compass. But it can be illuminated, as P arivara shows, b y a pin-pointing, a bringing to the fore, an unearthing of all necessary and important m aterial from the multitudinous regulations governing the conduct both of a Samgha and of an individual monk or nun, and then b y arranging in categories and lists these scattered Vinaya matters that monks should neither overlook nor forget, but keep constantly in the forefront of their minds. Moreover, once these classifications h ave been made, and expertly made, the true range of the Vinaya becomes more manifest, its structure, objects and apparatus more explicit and intelligible with the result th at these d e a r and strong guide-lines to the contents of Vin. m ay benefit teachers and pupils alike. _ It must not be supposed, however, that Parivara is a com m entary in the sense

The Book of the Discipline
that it rewords and explains. It does neither. Rather it restates by means of the categories and lists I have just referred to. The name of the place where Parivara was compiled is left completely vague. It is thought that Dipa (or Dipanama) who has been assumed to be the compiler was a Thera of Ceylon. But this is not said in the Envoi where, though his name occurs, he is merely spoken of as having had the work written, likhapesi. Therefore we can form as little idea of the real compiler as we can of the provenance, whether Ceylon or India or elsewhere, of the work. In the absence of any discussion of a reliable date to which Parivara could be assigned, which would take us too far afield and probably not be profitable, one or two references to this problem m ay be cited. W intem itz is of the opinion that Parivara probably dates from the same tim e as the Abhidhammapitaka.1 B. M. Barua, Inscriptions of Asoka, P art II, pp. 235-6, is cited b y Dr. W . Rahula 2 as saying the tradition thereof (i.e. the propagation of Buddhism in the Island of Tamraparni) is embodied even in a Pali canonical work, the Parivarapatha, which was compiled in about the beginning of the Christian e r a . The same tradition also occuts in other Pali works,3 but as these are not canonical the question arises whether Parivara belongs to them, at least in respect of this material, rather than to the Canon itself. The use of the word likhati twice in the Parivara might also be considered. I have referred to the form likhapesi, found in the Envoi.* Then, at the end of the Mahavibhanga I. 8, it is said " These eight Chapters (i.e. the ones just finished) have been written down for the w ay of study .s I f Parivara really relied on writing as its medium of expression, this almost automatically makes it later in date than much of the rest of the Canon which was handed down orally for some hundreds of years.

In its present form Parivara consists of nineteen Chapters or Sections. A t least two Commentaries, however, speak of sixteen Parivara,1 a discrepancy which merits attention. A t the end of Ch. X IV the words Parivaram nitthitarh occur, and this is where the Parivara m ay have ended originally, Chapters X V to X I X being later additions. If we regard Ch. IV in Oldenbergs edition as two Chapters instead of one : Anantarapeyyala and Samathabheda, and if we likewise regard Ch. V II as two Chapters instead of one : U posathadivissajjana and Atthavasapakarana, we get the sixteen P arivara spoken of in the Commentaries. In Ch. IV each division has its own tidddna which seems a fairly good reason for thinking that originally th e y formed two Chapters. Moreover, each appears to be given an entry in the uddana to what, at text p. 143, is called the M ahavagga which means all the Parivara m aterial that has been dealt w ith up to this point. These two sections of Ch. IV , however, are b y no means disparate. The second one, Sam athabheda, could be regarded, not ineptly, as a kind of explanatory appendix to the first Section, clearing up definitions th at, had th e y been dealt with in the course of this first Section, might have been so long, that though pertinent, th e y would prove confusing to the main run of the argum ent; and so they were assembled in their own particular Section of " cycles The two divisions in Ch. V II present a different typ e of case. They are both short divisions, the subject-m atter of which has nothing in common. Neither of them concludes w ith an uddana. The first of these divisions is unnamed in the t e x t : there is no name followed b y the word nitthita, concluded. Oldenberg m ay have taken the title b y which he heads this Section from VA. 1346. The second division, however, ends w ith the words A tthavasapakaranarh nitthitam, thus excluding the first division. Yet this division appears to be mentioned in th e uddana to the whole of the Parivaras M ahavagga which follows and con eludes this Ch. V II. Here called pavarand, the second subject about which questions are asked in the first division of Ch. V I I , it is placed between the E k u ttaraka (Ch. V I) and the A tth a va sika, thf* second division of Ch. V II. T hus pavarana and

allhavasika are brought into the mnem onic verse as tw o topics and not as one. It would further appear th a t as th e Commentary on the first division of th is Ch. V I I ends b y saying uposathadivissajjanavannand niithiid (V A . 1346) it m ust have regarded this division as h avin g an existence separate from and inde pendent o f the second division to w hich it gives no name. Moreover the Pentads (Ch. V I.5) are long enough to make th e U pali-Pentads (Ch. X V and therefore in w h at I ten tatively look on as later and additional m atter) seem slig h tly superfluous, as is perhaps Ch. X V I , Sam utthana, considering th a t Ch. I l l and also Chs. I and II have dealt thoroughly w ith the origins of offences already. Indeed, from Chs. X V to X I X , w ith the exception of Ch. X V I I I which is sui generis, one m ight suppose th a t someone other th an the original compiler w anted to show t-hat he too could gather together m atter th a t, so long as it remained scattered throughout th e Vibhangas an d K handhakas, might not sufficiently impress the disciple. B u t there w as little more to sa y and, again excepting Ch. X V I I I , these last five Chapters seem rather too inadequate to m ake an y new contribution of value. The P arivara contains a num ber of words, and a few senti ments, not, I think, found in th e other p arts of the Vinaya. I have collected some o f them here, and I p u t them forward subject to correction, as in an immense and not adequately indexed w ork as is the Vinaya-pitaka, it is im possible to find, let alone remember, all its single words and phrases, p. 1, etc.1 anuppannapannatii, a layin g down (of an amendment to a rule) th a t has not come to be or has not occurred yet. This would appear to leave the door open for dealing with future situations. B u t even if these arose, th e y could not be legislated for now because the Vinaya is " closed ; no more can be added to it. p. 92. The phrase cha saranlyd dhamma, the six things to be remembered, belongs to other canonical w orks ; in Vinaya the six things are given bu t w ithout a title.

This is a more acceptable translation to me than lu xury (Guide 108, 131). p. 124-5. pasutta (asleep) patibuddha (awake). The former, not in F E D ., is perhaps peculiar to this passage. The latter is found at Sn. 807. p. 125, 207. acittaka (unconscious) sacittaka (conscious) appear to occur only in Vin. v, and not in the other parts. See C P D . and P T C . which give acittaka as occurring only in later Pali literature. p. 129,130. The passage stating the five advantages and the five further advantages in brooms, sammajjani, is unique, and nothing at all comparable is found in V in . or A . o r elsewhere as far as I know. It seems to be an innovation on the part of our compiler. On the other hand, a t M iln. 2 i. there appear to be two advantages in brooms though th ey differ from those given here. p. 158, ver. 3, p. 160 f., 163, 164. anuvijjaka, adjudicator, arbitrator in a legal question.

It seems that none of these is canonical, p. 183, 187. ditthavikamma, an explanation of ones views in the Upali-Pentads only and not in other parts of V in., which these Pentads do not recapitulate w ith exactitude, p. 183. ussitamantin (a grandiose speaker) nissita.ja.ppin (one who hankers after or yearns for support for his statements). Neither compound found in other parts of V in. The Parivara now and again substitutes its own words for the Suttavibhanga words of corresponding passages. For example, text p. 37, 38, pakare pakare are not in Suttavibhanga Exp. 10, 11, where the Old Com m entary, instead of using a kind of omnibus word such as is pahare, specifies each of the actions that lead to E xp . Sim ilarly, payoge, as in E xp. 18 (text p. 38) and other contexts seems to be another omnibus word. Again, in N uns F .M . 5, te x t p. 56, w e get amisant for khadaniyam va bhojaniyam 1id o f N uns V ib han ga (V in . iv, 233). This seems to be another comprehensive w ord used for the sake of brevity. In Section III, 3, however, four substitutions occur which cannot be for the sake of b revity, though th e y m ay be for the sake of metre, which is the medium this Section uses throughout. T hey are a t : (1) tex t p. 87, ver. 27, where rincanti is absent from Sutta vibhanga sikkhapada itself (Monks Forf. 17), though appearing in its introductory narrative. (2) tex t p. 88, ver. 43, where P a riva ra substitutes seyya for manca (Nuns E xp. 31), and tatha bahi for tiroraftke (Nuns E xp. 38) ; also te x t p. 89, ver. 55 where it substitutes seyya for sayana. A t te x t p. 106 there is, am ong oth er abbreviations, the somewhat curious phrase samukhavinayam katuna miUam la.

of , for such is the verdict under discussion here. Katuna as a form of the infinitive of karoti, if that is indeed what it is, can be only of very rare occurrence- Geiger makes no reference to it.1 Equally rare must be katuye at Thig. 418 1 ; cf. marituye at Tfng. 426, probably both Vedic infinitives. Pischel, Thlg. p. 212, does not agree with the reading or explanation at ThtgA 268 : kith sakka katuye ti him maya kdtum ayye sakka ; he says the correct reading is no doubt katuye, as given in the text That a compiler should now and again use an unusual form of a verb does not mean that it was in common use during his life-time : any writer, to suit his purposes, may resort to a rare, ancient or obsolete word, but that does not make him belong to the times when that word was in current circulation. I will now mention some of the points that seem to me worthy of note from among Parivara's nineteen Chapters. This will serve also to give some rough idea of their contents. Chapter I, M ahavibhanga. The first Section is called The Laying-Down Where ? ". Each rule in the Mahavibhanga, given in the exact order in which it has been handed down in the corresponding Mahavibhanga at Vin. iii, 1-266, iv, 1-207, is examined from a number of angles, important among these being the place where it was laid down. This, of course, may be regarded as history, and nothing new is to be learnt from it so long as the student knows the other relevant parts of Vin. ft is not necessarily more important than the other angles, aspects or questions about the rules that are set down, as a kind of matika, at the very beginning of this Section. These are somewhat bare or condensed outlines of questions to be learnt and of the answers then following in any study of the sikkhapada ; then more detail of each one may be filled in as one proceeds through them all from the first Defeat to the seventy-fifth Training. Though Where, Concerning Whom, On what Subject ? are traditional opening words in Com mentaries, some of the other questions included here are less

usual and less obvious. It is, for exam ple, in this Section that we are made aware of the great im portance the compiler attached to the num ber of origins, dpattisamutthdna, b y which a m onk can originate a n y of the offences legislated for in the Patim okkha. There are six such origins, given at Vin. ii, go. B u t it left to P arivara to analyse them in relation to each offence and assert them so clearly th at th ey gain a significance and precision th at could not be gauged from the other parts of V in. T he m aterial is there, but neither the emphasis nor the system atization. This is P arivaras innovation, part of its contribution to learning and m astering Vinaya. The second Section of the M ahavibhangas first Chapter is entitled " How m any Offences ? Its main concern is the num ber and typ e of other offences a monk m ay fall into according to the circum stances attending his infringement of a n y one of the rules. These are repeated here in their entirety and again in their proper order. A useful exam ple to consult occurs at tex t p. 37, the first offence o f Expiation, where he m ay fall into as m an y as five different kinds of offence for telling a conscious lie in five different w ays. On the other hand, he m a y fall only into the offence bearing the relevant groupname, e.g. as at Forf. i , 2, 3. A ll this information is in the Suttavibhanga, often in the Old Com m entary. B u t it is buried there and not co-ordinated b y means of being assembled. Chapter I I , Bhikkhumvibhanga. The m ethod of presenting the N uns V ibhanga is a v e ry exact copy of th a t of presenting the Monks Vibhanga, or M ahavibhanga as it is called. Chapter I I I , Samutthanass uddana. This Chapter, like X , X V I I , X V I I I , is entirely in metre. It demonstrates the importance attached b y the compiler to the origins of offences. In the short Introduction the point is made (ver. 6-8) th a t he who desires (to know) the rule, dhamma, must train in Parivara which, as a strand in the Thread (of the Teaching), fastens the garlands of both o f the Vibhangas, the Khandhakas. and the Matikas. It is thus a guide to the whole of the rest of V in., and has a practical bearing on the stab ility of True Dhamma. For this w ill endure on ly as long as Vinaya endures. So does

Vin&y&s horizon become all the wider for the integral part it plays in the entirety of the Buddha's Teaching. This Chapter then goes on to a systematic classification, under thirteen headings or in thirteen divisions or groups all of which in effect are names of offences, of every offence in the two Vibhangas including the Sekhiyas that originate from the same combination of the six origins of offences according to the various permutations and combinations of the origins of these offences from the three doors of body, speech and thought. No doubt the presumption is that when a student is trying to master Vinaya, he w ill not only want to know, he will also want to see almost at a glance as it were which of these three parts of a person is involved and in what permutation by his offending against any Vinaya rule. Though the origin m ay be dual as for example in Sheeps Wool Origin and in Dhamma-line-by-line Origin, the nature of the duality is different; this necessitates the meticulous attribution of the offences to the group to which, by the origination of them, they belong. In each of these classified groups the number of the offences included is stated, except in the third group, the Go-between Origin ; here there appear to be 49 items. Such origins as are impossible are also given. It is remarkable that, with one exception,1 the compiler has been able to keep the sikkhapada in their proper consecutive order throughout each of these thirteen classifications of origins of offences into which he arranges them. And it is a great feat that, alw ays in metre, he has given for practically every offence one, but not more than one, key-word from the sikkhapada, so that the student of Parivara m ay recognize the one being referred to. I give m y findings in the footnotes to this Chapter. Four times only has the compiler used substitutes for the words of the sikkhapada,2 Chapter 1 V consists of two main sections: the Anantarapeyyala and the Samathabheda. Each begins with a kind of matika put in the form of questions ; the different answers to them are then worked out at some length. The paragraphs are

numbered straight on in Oldenbergs edition through 1-6 in Section I, and 7-22 in Section II. There is a link between these Sections in that the former is mainly occupied w ith offences, their origins and the four kinds of legal questions th ey raise, and the latter with the settling or deciding of these same legal questions. Section I has its own uddana which is quite distinct from the uddana at the end of Section II. In Section II the compiler displays a kind of tour de force in the extrem ely thorough attention he lavishes on the cycles , cakka, that he presents. And he presents every possible one th at is to his point. Each is analysed down to the minutest detail. Apart from the one abbreviation he allows himself,1 nothing is left to the imagination or to common sense ; nothing is abbreviated in any such w ay as being called " the others the rest or " the remainder . On the contrary, the names o f the four legal questions and the seven methods of deciding them are repeated time and time again thus driving home the relation of any of the latter to an y of the former, and incidentally providing a fine mental discipline for the student. The Com m entary to this Section, which hardly exists, declares it is perfectly clear to the end. Chapter V, Khandhakapuccha. The aid of the Corny, is im perative for a right grasp of the contents of th is v e ry short Chapter. It appears to ask how m any offences there are in each of the ten Khandhakas of the M V . and the tw elve o f the CV . But, in fact, as becomes evident from the Corny., it is not inquiring about actual numbers of offences, but about the numbers of types of offence each Khandhaka contains.* The total of these types for any one K handhaka, none of them named in Parivara text itself, comes to no more than three : grave, Expiation, wrong-doing. Some K handhakas contain more than one offence belonging to these three types. The point, however, is not to reckon these individually or the answers might w ell not tally with those P arivara gives but by the class to which they belong. It need not, I think, be

presumed that this Chapter was meant to be a puzzle or a pitfall for an unwary student, though this is not an impossibility. Rather, I would incline to the opinion that the compiler thought now that he had reviewed the Vibhangas he would give some definite attention to the Khandhakas. It had become their turn though never are they kept separate from the Vibhangas in tidy isolated compartments and owing to their diffuse nature as much as to the general plan of Parivara, questions on the number of offences were not only as good a starting point as any, but were almost the regulation one. Today the m ystery of this brief Chapter can be unlocked only with the help of the Corny. It would be interesting to know if the early students of Parivara had to secure this also and not here only or whether they had some other key, perhaps the traditional knowledge of their teachers, to give them the right interpretations. Chapter V I, Ekuttaraka. This is dominated throughout by a method without parallel in other parts of Vin. It is more in line with A even too with the Sanglti and Dasuttara Suttantas, and such other Pali works as are arranged on a " higher b y one plan, e.g. Pug. and the last part, the Samkhyasarupam, of Miln-t.1 But Pug. is concerned only with the qualities of individuals, and Miln-t. only with items occurring in Miln. Apart from the method, Parivara Ch. V I is far from being a copy of any of these works. In common with them it collects an enormous range of topics, qualities and attributes of no matter what kind of person or object or situation. But the difference is that here the Vin. is the supreme foundation, the fons et origo, and the whole of the orbit from which this com pendious compilation radiates and which it encompasses. Vin. is its source, its centre and its field. Even those items which cannot be traced to Vin. itself have all the same been carefully chosen for their Vinaya flavour. For example, in the Pentads 2 though the five perils for one of unpleasing and the five advantages for one of pleasing actions can be traced to A . but not to Vin., the explanation of these actions is as appropriate

to V in. as to an y other part o f the P ali Canon. T he same could be said of the five pairs o f foolish or ignorant men and the five pairs of wise men,1 or of the pairs o f individuals in whom the cankers either increase or do not 2 (A. i, 84 86). E ve n A 's three things that are hidden or unveiled 3 have a V in . bearing as do also several of the item s listed in the short section of the Nonads. Here, for exam ple, the nine occasions for or bases of ill-w ill and the nine w ays of averting it can be found in D . and A . bu t not in Vin. Y e t th e y are not a t all alien to it in sentiment since a m onk should be able to rise above this defilement of the mind, this hindrance. Such departures from V in . sources though not from Vin. sentiment are, however, in a Chapter o f th is great length com paratively v e ry infrequent. T he underlying m otive must have been to provide the student of Vinaya w ith a graduated list, largely of such Vinaya topics as offences and legal questions, on the analogy of the graduated lists for students of Dhamma. It was a brilliant conception, b rillian tly carried out. B u t some features raise problems. F o r exam ple, p ractically every one of the eleven groups includes its own appropriate num ber of le g a lly valid and legally invalid suspensions o f the Patim okkha. So th a t, unless one waits for the Decads or already knows from some other source th at there are ten, one m ight be m isled into thinking there were only one, tw o or three and so on. One m ight conclude from this th at part of the m ethod was to grade th e same item in group after group within the more general gradation, perhaps to keep everything before the students m em ory. T he fear of forgetting must have been v e ry real in a w orld w here the spoken w ord was perhaps still the m ain medium of teaching and learning rather than the book w ritten on palm -leaves.4 There is too the puzzle of another kin d o f repetition. Con stan tly, say a dyad or a triad is given , such as T w o proba tions 6 or T w o m anattas . 5 T h is is follow ed im m ediately b y the words A n d two further (probations or m anattas) all of them being specified and nam ed.

Tetrads 1 each of these two sets of two is grouped together to form one set of fours. In addition, but lacking the last member, the first three members appear in the Triads.3 This same feature is found again, e.g. in the D yads and Pentads. In the former 3 three dyads occur successively equalling six types of persons who must not be ordained. B u t in the Pentads 4 the last of these six persons is omitted. More examples could be given, such as the five offences 5 and the six offences 8involving cutting down, or the s i x 6 and the seven 7 proper courses. Only the numbers are stated ; the Corny, gives the clue to the offences they denote. Or again, ten boons 8 and " eleven boons 9 were asked for. The Corny, specifies them but not the text, and takes the eleventh boon as the one Mahapajapati requested. This was the only one the Buddha did not consent to. He granted all the others, eight of them to Visakha, the famous lay woman supporter of both the Orders, which b y that time must have been well established. There is too the rather curious and apparently casual inclusion in the D ya d s10 of two salts, two further and two further and two further salts, making eight in all. These are not repeated either in the Tetrads or the Octets. Four of these salts do not seem to recur anywhere else in the P ali Canon. The four that this does mention, sdmudda and kalalona, sinihava and ubbhida, at M V. vi, 8; are four of the five salts allowed as medicines, a salt called bila being the fifth. This being so, and without more evidence, it is clearly not safe to argue th at whenever salts are mentioned it is always pair b y pair. These five salts are not among the Pentads, possibly for the reason that M V . vi, 8 also makes allowable whatever other salts there are that are medicines " if they serve neither as solid nor as soft foods. For this last clause would prevent a close fit, hence, as a pentad, finality and completeness would be lacking. The same reasoning could be applied to some of the other groups of five things allowed as medicines (M V . vi, i fit.). B u t with, for example, the five tallows it is different, for at M V . vi, z this clause is

not appended. Thus because five tallow s only are recognized they can appear in the Pentads.1 Another sort o f problem arises w ith the T e tr a d s : four reprovings are given tw ice.2 T h ey are not placed beside one another and they differ in kind. W h y does the compiler here depart from his usual custom of saying and a further two or four or whatever the number m ay be ? I doubt whether either of these two tetrads, as such, can be found in the other parts of Vin. Again, a longish passage in the Pentads 3 is repeated word for word in the D ecads,4 and indeed several tim es a decad has appeared already as two pentads. T his m ay be good for the memory, but a simple count of the E k u tta ra k a item s without looking for repetitions and duplications w ould result in quite a wrong total. Then there is the occasion when tw o clauses taken from the Nuns Vibhanga differ from that V ibhanga in th a t there a nun of twelve years standing is in question', while here, in Parivara, she has to be only of ten years stan din g.6 This m ay be due to an inadvertent following of the corresponding clauses about the monks who are rightly spoken of as h avin g to be of ten years standing ; or it m ay be deliberate so as to give the nuns a place in the Decads of the E kuttaraka. B u t neither aberration nor deviation is characteristic of the compiler. In these few random notes on a Chapter th a t w ould bear a good deal of examination I have aimed at bringing forward only some of the points I think deserve investigation. In conclusion it must be rem arked th a t the E igh tfold W a y is absent from the Octets, as I believe it is also from the Octets of Ang .* The nearest approach to it appears to come under the headings " ten wrongnesses " and ten rightnesses in the Decads.7 These are not expanded in the tex t, but the Corny. confirms with the words beginning w ith w rong view, ending w ith wrong freedom .8 There are of course m any m atters in the Pali Canon that have not been included in th e E kuttaraka.

They m ay belong, for example, more to the Teaching than to the Discipline, such as the three marks of all phenomena, the four Truths, the four arousings of mindfulness, the four right endeavours, the five powers, the five basic faculties, indriya, and the seven states connected with Awakening. These were the affair of the dhammakathikas and the dhamtnadharas. A student of Vinaya who perhaps hoped one day to be a vinayadhara, an expert in Discipline, had such an enormous amount to learn in this branch alone of the Buddha's Dispensa tion that very likely he had to be content with no more than a comparatively superficial acquaintance with Dhamma which forms the other great branch. Because I think these sections of the Ekuttaraka somewhat unwieldy as they stand, I have ventured to break them up into paragraphs, hoping that this will facilitate their study. Chapter V I I , like Ch. IV , has two main sections. They are called Uposathadivissajjana and Atthavasapakarana. The Ch. concludes b y saying Mahavaggam nitthiiam. The Parivara to all intents and purposes then proceeds to topics dealt with in the Cullavagga and carries this on to the end of Ch. X IV . V A . 1347 styles its exegesis on Chs. I-V II Mahavagga-vannana, while at p. 1371 it calls that on Chs. V III-X IV Pannattivaggavannana as though this were a title, if not for Cullavagga, then for other material beginning with a verse statement of the places where the sikkhapada were laid down, I have referred earlier to Ch. V II as one of the two Parivara Chapters that falls into two discrete portions.1 Chapter V I I I , Gathasamganika. This is mostly in verse with a little prose interspersed. Of much interest are the opening verses which collect the names of the seven places where the 350 rules of training for monks and nuns were laid down, followed by the ascription of the relevant rules to each of these seven places. Savatthi, however, where 294 rules are said to have been made, cannot have this number named individually, so the reader or student must find them for himself. Next
See above* p. xiii.

comes another deeply interesting passage stating that 220 rules of training are recited b y monks on Observance d ays and 304 b y nuns, totalling 524. B u t this must not be taken literally, for 174 are for equal training, thus reducing the grand total to the accredited 350 rules laid down in the seven places. Or, as altern ately given, 176 rules are not shared between monks and nuns ; but these w ith the 174 that are shared am ount again to the 350 rules for members o f both Orders.1 The tw o concluding stanzas are more reminiscent of Dhamma than Discipline, the last one containing one o f P arivara's few references to nibbana.2 It might have seemed as w ell to remind students and aspirants from time to tim e of the ultim ate goal of their strenuous life and training. Chapter I X , Adhikaranabheda. This is the most thorough and detailed statem ent o f the four legal questions to be found in V in ., as the com m entator realized. T h ey occup y its full length, and there is no digression from them. Chapter X , Aparagathasamganika. This short Chapter, which keeps entirely to m etre, is largely devoted to the subject of reproving, codana. Though Ch. I X divides it from Ch. V III which is called G athasam ganika, the title of Ch. X would have raised no other problems had it not been for the title of Ch. X V I I . The text calls this D utiyagathasam ganika as though it were oblivious o f Ch. X . T he Corny., ve ry confusingly, styles both Chs. X and X V I I Dutiyagathasam ganika. N either has a uddana. Chapter X I , Codandkanda is chiefly concerned w ith the reprover, codaka, including the ignorant incom petent kind who goes on to N ira ya for abusing Elders and bu m s up himself, jhapeti attdnam, for m any another stupidity. W e thus learn som ething of the fruition of imperfect, unskilled reproving. T he m ethod followed at the beginning of the second set of stanzas resembles th at of the opening stanzas of Ch. X .

Chapter X I I , Culasamgama opens, as does Ch. X III, with a word not found in other parts of Vin. : samgamdvacara bhikkhu,1 a monk who is engaged in battle, here used figuratively of course, and meaning engaged in conflict or dispute over a legal question. The first paragraph describes the ideal adjudi cator, anuvijjaka ,l in such disputes. The second paragraph, in a way not uncommon in the Suttapitaka but not found else where in V i n . } connects causally and almost step by step a more humble beginning with the noblest ending. Here it seems that reproving is for the sake o f . . . final nibbana without clinging remaining. Thus are disciplinary matters shown to lead on gradually to the consummation. This invests them in a most interesting light, and again must act as a welcome reminder to the monastic disciple that the discipline he is undergoing has an elevated though distant goal the achievement of which is in a direct relationship to his progressive efforts as a reliable m onk.3 Chapter X I I I , Mahasathgama. In common with the opening parts of Chs. I and II and with Ch. X IV , a Commentary forms the main btilk of the Chapter in the sense that it consists of a consecutive explanation of the phrases used in the first paragraph. This puts us in mind of the word for word Com mentary a t M V . ii, 3 on the recital of the Patimokkha, and would appear to take the place of the questions and answers which are a feature in other Parivara Chapters ; it is certainly a valuable method of clarification. The Chapter opens with the same words, samgdmavacara bhikkhu, as does Ch. X II ; it contains a longish quotation from M V . iv, also two verses both traceable to D . and A ., and a repetition of the first set of verses in Ch. X I w ith the substitution of pavdrana for uposatha. A t the beginning of paragraph 2 the exegesis of He should know the subject " gives a total of the 350 rules of Ch. V III if one takes the 75 offences of wrong-doing to stand for the 75 Sekhiyas, for infringing any of which an offence of wrong-doing resulted. Offences o f wrong speech are not counted. The association of the monk who is being reproved with two things,
1 See above, p . x v . * See B D . i. Intr. p. ix. * See above, p. xxvi.

speaking the truth and being w ithout anger, sacca akuppa, has made an appearance already in Ch. X I , 4 and in C V . IX , 5, 7. There are several words in this Chapter th at have not been found in other parts of the Pali Canon.1 U nfortunately the Corny, fails and stops short some w a y before it ends, saying, as it says at the end of Ch. IV , that the rest is clear. Chapter X I V , Kathinabheda, takes us deep into the process of the proper making of the kathina cloth. It is not a simple one ; it is, in fact, extrem ely com plicated. There are not only the 24 wrong or improper w ays and the 17 right or proper ways of form ally m aking it up into robes (or spreading it on the frame), but there is also a mass of other relevant m atters, often further divided and sub-divided, explored and explained. The Ch. is en tirely occupied with the business in hand and must have added its quota to the seriousness w ith which the proper carrying out of this annual event is regarded in m onastic circles. E x actitu d e, depending on a m astery o f detail, has to be achieved, and this well-organized Ch. goes one b y one through all the steps for attaining this end. I h ave suggested earlier 2 that, because a t the end o f this Ch., there stand the words Parivdram niUhitam, the original version o f Parivara went no further and that the subsequent Chs. are later additions to the work. Chapter X V , Upalipancaka. A t the tim e of th e Buddha, U paii w as the most proficient and the greatest vina.yadha.ra, expert in Discipline, the whole of which he is traditionally supposed to have learnt from the Buddha him self. It seems v e ry rem arkable th at of all the quantities of questions he is here shown as having asked, the B u d d h a's answers were all in sets of five whereas in the much shorter U palivagga at A . v, 70 ff. th e y were all in sets of ten. A t M V . ix, 6 (V in. i, 325-328) the answers do not appear to involve an y special numbers. H ow m any questions Upaii a ctu ally asked and how m any are ascribed to him because of his great auth ority in V in . matters, it is impossible to say at this distance of tim e. This Ch. is the on ly one to begin in the style traditional to th e Pitakas,
See above, g. x v . * See above, p. xiii.
x xix
possibly to intimate that it is not an original contribution but a gathering together of subject-matter in the very form in which it had been handed down but hitherto had not been collected. Be that as it may, Upalis name provides a good focal point for demonstrating b y this grouping in 14 divisions, always b y sets of five, and usually under the aspect of the number of qualities a monk or nun should possess, that he is fit and able for certain disciplinary duties, some of which have occurred already in Parivara, generally* in other contexts. A few pentads from the Ekuttaraka are repeated, and various words and phrases are brought' forward from other parts of Vin., also a few from the Suttapitaka. There are probably more of these last than I have referred to in the notes, for, unless one were making a special study of Upaii, the time involved in tracing them would be out of proportion to the result gained. No doubt it was Upalis eminence in everything that was prescribed to govern the life of a monk or nun as well as the smooth running of the Order that places him in the unique position of having a Ch. named after him personally. This, in a work noticeably devoid of proper names, could be regarded as a tribute deservedly paid to this most accomplished adept in Vinaya. Chapter X V I , Samutthana, appears to lack nearly all origi nality, either as a collection or as a statement, and it is hard to account for its inclusion. One would have thought that all that could have been said about the origins of offences had been said already, principally in Ch. I, II and III. As a Ch. it is no more than a copy of certain parts of these earlier Chs. For it merely picks out, from among other material, information they give about origins. Though these are perfectly plainly stated there, this Ch. restates them here, so that it becomes a kind of digest, concerned solely with origins, of material already presented in Parivara. Even some of the points mentioned in its first paragraph are not peculiar to it, but have occurred already. The Ch. can hardly be sajd to have been compiled by a master-hand but rather by someone who was taking an easy way to hammer home a subject of importance, or at least of importance in Parivara.
XXX
Chapter X V I I , Dutiyagathasariiganika 1 is another Ch. wholly in metre. Its method, deviated from only in ver. 31, 32, is for each alternate stanza to ask H ow m any ? concerning various Vin. items and to give the answer in the succeeding verse. As appears early on, the offence is to be taken, as in Ch. V, as the class of offence, not the number of individual offences under the chosen heading. To demonstrate this I have annotated three offences at sunrise in ver. 4 to show that, though at least seven occasions for falling into an offence may occur at sunrise, the three " refer only to the class to which they belong. In view of Ch. V one cannot say that the approach here is anything new. This takes us to about ver. 50 when the subject of offences is dropped, to be taken up again in ver. 93, now in a straightforward count of the number of offences that exist in each class. These, as in Ch. V III, come to a total for monks and nuns of 350. These verses, often characterized b y a refrain, are pleasant to read, but do not sweep in more than a few items that have not been considered and dissected already. One can mention, however, the reference in ver. 51, 52 to the four Vin. occasions where confessions of a transgression were made and which hitherto have received no attention in Parivara. W e also hear more of chejja, " could be destroyed, ver. 57, 58 ; of the individuals who should not be greeted but if th ey are there is an offence of wrong-doing for every greeting, ver. 61, 62 ; and of the number of the kinds of monastic adherents who may receive robe-material after th e y have kept the rains, ver. 63,64. N oteworthy too are the m athematical computations at ver. 65, 66 and 77, 78. This last pair of verses and likewise ver. 81, 82 concern themselves w ith the number of those doomed to the Downfall for being schismatics. This too is noteworthy since references to the locus, as it were, o f a future rebirth are not common in Parivara. I think this Ch. could have been compiled only b y someone or someone and his colleagues and pupils who had made a prolonged study of Vin. and was anxious to pass on the results. Frequently, however, these are in a form where research rather
1 On this title see above, p. x x v i.
xxxi
than m em ory is required, if a student is to supply the right answer to any one o f the m any questions.1 Once again, we ourselves would often be in complete darkness were it not for the commentarial explanations.1 Chapter X V I I I , Sedamocakagatha is well named. W holly in metre, it is full of riddles and puzzles the right solution of which calls for hard and accurate thinking. Opposing statements, each one drawn from various parts of Vin., and statements obviously contrary to w ell known sikkhapada if taken merely at their face value, are a ll shown to be valid when properly interpreted. One of the difficulties, even with the commentators almost but not quite unfailing guidance, is to trace them to their right source, for some are very obscure. My notes reveal the occasions of m y uncertainty ; otherwise, in the light of the Corny. I hope that I have given a sound lead to anyone studying this highly original set of stanzas, but to make them all come alive a certain amount of research would still lie before him. Though M iln. presents a huge qu an tity of dilemmas and repeatedly sets two statem ents the one against the other which apparently do not ta lly and apparently could not both be true, nearly all of these are taken from the Suttapitaka and Jataka and com paratively only a very few from V in. The Sweatinducing Stanzas, on the other hand, adhere strictly to the contents of Vin. and never m ove aw ay from them. They never once mention origins of offences or formal acts of the Order. There are 43 stanzas and the uddana gives 43 items. Whether this number is comprehensive and covers all Vin. dilemmas and riddles I am not prepared to say. A ll that can be said here is th at nothing comparable exists in other parts of Vin. Further, it seems that the compiler has made a very deep study of the sikkhapada for both monks and nuns, and has extracted information and m atters of fact from m any of them which, though there but not laboured, could easily come as a surprise to more superficial students, e.g. ver, 32, 33 and 3 637 ' Riddles are nothing new to the P ali canon. One is to be

found e.g. at Dhp. 294, 295, and another at Thag. 15, 633 Dhp. 370 = S. i, 3. The existence of four citations o f this latter riddle points to its popularity. M ilinda's dilemmas are not riddles ; th ey are plain straightforward quotations. A ll they have in common w ith the Sweat-inducing Stanzas is a presentation of m aterial th at, though apparently inconsistent, yields to consistency and agreement when the right interpreta tion is known. A s Milinda's questions are, in th e main, dilemmas based on the Suttapitaka, so this collection o f 43 stanzas must be classed as Vinaya dilemmas. Chapter X I X ( Five Divisions "). T his Chapter is given no name in the tex t or Corny. The tex t, however, consists of five vaggas or divisions, individually named and numbered. These are called collectively b y Oldenberg The F ive Vaggas The Corny., on the other hand, b y taking V aggas 3 and 4 together to form one vagga, adm its of four vaggas only. It calls its combined vaggas 3 and 4 b y the name of Anisarhsavagga, though in the text these are called P an n attivagga and Pannattavagga respectively, a distinction th a t, from internal evidence in these two vaggas, might be hard to ju stify. This Ch. is inclined to repeat m aterial given earlier in the Parivara w ith a resulting loss of intrinsic interest though no doubt the summing up of various points is very clear. In the first division, the Kam m avagga, insistence is laid on strict and rigid adherence to the regulation w a y of carrying out monastic proceedings. This creates an impression that one false step, one omission, would invalidate the whole of the legal inquiry for which monks had assembled, and puts one in mind of the san ctity of brahmanical rites. It is left to the com m entator to decipher which kind of osarana and which kind of nissarana is meant on each o f the four occurrences of these words at te x t p. 222. W ere it spoken, w ritten dr printed in full the fifth division would be found to mention every sikkhapada in its proper order so as to show th a t the offence involves " m atter and kind , and the class to which it belongs involves name and " offence . It would seem as if the com piler of this Chapter had come to the conclusion there was still room for

clarification and that some points had not been stressed sufficiently. The life of a monk, regarded as an individual, was centred on adhering to the rules of training ; and, regarded as a member of the Samgha to which he belonged, it was centred on the greater and lesser communal legislative acts. The Parivara, with its minute analysis and synthetical treatment, hammers this home encompassing and covering everything an individual monk or nun and an Order as a unit should know. It is not a book for general reading ;'it is a book of reference to be studied by anyone making research into the Vinaya, by a member of the Order or by someone aspiring to ordination who should leam beforehand the kind of things he will be expected to grasp more fully later. Though he is b y no means uncritical of the work of his commentarial predecessors the compiler of the Vinaya Com mentary, including that on the Parivara, appears to have had a certain admiration for the Mahapaccarl, one of the early Commentaries, and occasionally he follows its interpretations in preference to those of the Vinaya- itself (e.g. see Mahavibhanga, text p. 38, Exp. 14, 15, 23) but occasionally he differs from them (e.g. text p. 39, Exp. 26). Our commentator, therefore, the Ven. Buddhaghosa, apparently had full knowledge of several, probably all, of the early Commentaries : the Mahaatthakatha, the Mahapaccarl, the Kurund! (whose interpreta tions he now and again says should not be accepted), and the Andhakatthakatha.1 He was, of course, completely at liberty to choose what he thought was the best and truest interpreta tion of some point in any one of these Commentaries and to criticize that made by others. His VA. refers not infrequently to Parivara, and sometimes cites verses from it. Of the extant Pali Commentaries it would seem that that on Anguttara pays a certain amount of attention to Parivara. This may be a reflexion of the attention paid, not by name but by parallel passages, b y Parivara to Anguttara. In a long

account of the disappearance of the Buddha-word as contained in the three Pitakas together w ith the P ali Commentaries, A A . i, 89 says that after the disappearance of the last Jataka to be remembered, still the Vinaya w ill be borne in mind. B u t as tim e goes on and on first the Parivara w ill disappear, then th e K handhakas, then the Bhikkhunivibhanga, and lastly the M ahavibhanga.1 M A . ii, 106, A A . iii, 5 state that am ong other portions of the T ath ag ata's words the two Vibhangas, the Khandhakas and P arivara should be included; A A . iii, 1589, however, holds th a t the tw o Vibhangas are Sutta, and that only K h an d haka-P arivara are Vinaya. A division is made also at A A . v , 7 where the tw o former are called Vinaya and the two latter abhivinaya. Therefore, except th at the Parivaras tend to be bracketed w ith the K handhakas, any firm tradition of their status or any agreement on w hat th at was seems difficult to find. The P arivara itself differs from all the above views when it says pannatti vinayo vibhatti abhivinayo (text p. 2). U nless one's knowledge of the Vibhangas and the Khandhakas were as profound and accurate as th at of the compiler of the P arivara, m an y puzzles, some alm ost insoluble, might arise and m any references be w rongly ascribed to other parts of the Vinaya, thus creating a deeper confusion. Throughout Section III, for exam ple, and throughout Section V III, the offence under review has to be recognized from one word only, for th a t is a ll that is provided for its identification. The Ven. Buddhaghosa, though undoubtedly extrem ely brief, meets this challenge and gives ju st enough inform ation for the purpose, sometimes mentioning the typ e of offence arising from this or th at action. F or exam ple, V A . 1307 on Parivara III, ver. 20, reads : moho amulakena ca ti mohanake pacittiya-sikkhapadan ca amulakena samghddisesena anuddhamsana-sikkhdpadan ca. It is thus shown th at the former action is to be traced, through the word mohanaka, to th e E xp iation group, and the latter, throu gh the w ord anuddharhsana, to the Form al Meeting group.

Again, on Section III, ver. 28 the Ven. Buddhaghosas explana tion at V A . 1309 attests that puva-paccaya-joti ca are to be taken to stand for three sikkhapadas. Then, too, though the Ven. Buddhaghosa thus keeps one on the right lines and also prevents one from attributing such comparatively common key-words as dalvd or vikale (see V A . 1307, 1311) to the wrong sikkhapada, all the same it has been a work of formidable detection to trace, from no more than the minimum of words, all the sources in the other parts of the Vinaya. Y e t, owing to the Ven. Buddhaghosa's remarkable accuracy and efficiency, I have been able to supply most, though not quite all, of the references to these other parts. It is certain that without the labours of this great commentator this annotated translation of the Parivara could neither have been correct nor brought to a conclusion. My debt to him is beyond all reckoning, and is one that it is an honour to acknowledge. Of my contemporaries, I have to thank Dr. W. Rahula and the Ven. Dr. H. Saddhatissa for their helpful elucidations or confirmations of some of the terms I had not met in the other parts of the Vinaya. I wish also to offer m y gratitude to Professor A. K . W arder not only for reminding me of m y reference in BD . i, Intr. p. v, to the need for a complete as against a partial translation of the Vinaya, but also for his interest throughout the progress of this work. The more I have worked at Parivara the more I have become convinced that it is a very useful guide, in particular its earlier Chapters, to the contents of the Vinaya-pitaka. I have become convinced also that only a translator of the other parts should attempt a translation of the Parivara if it is to act as this useful guide. For unless the same terminology were used throughout the whole translation, which might be difficult for a second translator, the Parivara translation would lose much of its point andpurpose. Most of the words in Vinaya are terms with a definite meaning and often a technical one. Consistency in translation is therefore the chief, perhaps the only, means of identification. * I. B.

[12] Herein w hat are the six roots of disputes ? A s to this a monk becomes angry and bears ill-w ill.1 W h atever monk becomes angry and bears ill-will, he lives w ithout deference, disrespectful towards the Teacher . . . ( = C V . IV , 1 4 , 3 down to the end o f that paragraph. The word m onk is here constantly omiited) . . . thus there come to be no future effects of th at evil root of disputes these are the six roots of disputes.

(this is identical with the last paragraph, reading censure instead of dispute) . . . these are the six roots of censure.

T his is a th in g to be remembered making for affection, m aking for respect, it con duces to concord, to lack of dispute, to harm ony, to unity. And again a monk should offer . . . a frien dly act of speech . . . a friendly act of thought . . . to unity. A n d again, w h atever are those lawful acquisitions, law fully acquired, if th ey be even but w hat is put into the begging bowl a monk should be one to enjoy sharing such acquisitions, to e n jo y them in common with his virtuous fellow Brahm a-farers. This too is a thin g to be remembered . . . to unity. A nd again, w h atever are those moral habits that are faultless, w ithout flaw, spotless, w i t h o u t blemish, freeing, praised b y wise men, untarnished, conducive to concentration [ 93] a monk should dw ell united in v i r t u e s such as these with his fellow Brahm a-farers, both in public and

And again, whatever view is ariyan, leading onwards, leading him who acts according to it to the complete destruction of anguish a monk should dwell united in a view such as this with his fellow Brahma-farers, both in public and in private. This too is a thing to be remembered . . . to unity. [15] Herein what are the eighteen matters making for schism ? As to this, a monk explains non-dhamma as Dhamma . . . ( M V .

One falls into five offences b y means of the first origin of offences. A monk, thinking it is allowable, begging himself, builds a hut without the site being marked out, exceeding the measure, involving destruction, not with an open space round it 1 ; in the action there is an offence of wrong doing ; if one lump is still to come there is a grave offence *; when that lump has come there is an offence requiring a Formal Meeting of the Order.* A monk, thinking it is allowable, eats a meal at a wrong time there is an offence of Expiation.3 A monk, thinking it is allowable, eats solid food or soft food, having accepted it with his own hand from the hand of nun who is not a relation (and) has entered among the houses there is an offence to be Confessed.* One falls into these five offences by means of the first origin of offences.

In brief (sanhhepato), how m any offences are there according to these eminent sentences, highest sentences ? " This is interesting since ukkattha means both eminent and condensed.

If, however, they stop a t th e northern quarter without going on to the eastern one again, the boundary and its marks are interrupted. anim itta : not all the marks having been agreed on b y everyone VA . 1401.
