sambhinnā. For example, there are no other Formal Meetings similar to Bu-Ss.1, Bu-Ss.5, Bu-Ss.12, or Bu-Ss.13. These, therefore, are “separate”. Formal Meetings Bu-Ss.2, Bu-Ss.3, Bu-Ss.4 are “connected” because they deal with the same subject matter and to some extent use the same wording; the same is also true of Formal Meetings Bu-Ss.6, Bu-Ss.7 and Bu-Ss.8; Bu-Ss.9, Bu-Ss.10 and Bu-Ss.11. Vin-a.1191 says that vavatthitā and sambhinnā are pariyāyavacana of sabhāga and visabhāga.

This is the whole of this paragraph as it stands. See note at Vinaya Texts ii.431 which says that the conclusion should be supplied as in Kd.13.28.1, with the exception that the penalty in each case is “a probation corresponding in length to the period which has elapsed since the first of those offences which the re-ordained Bhikkhu has concealed. The details are only worked out in Kd.13.28.1, of the first of the several pairs here enumerated, and are intended to be supplied here for each of the other pairs in a similar way. All the pairs recur in Chapters Kd.13.35, Kd.13.36.”
