[143]:

In the Suttavibhaṅga, Vin.4.174, this is called Ratanavagga, Division on Treasure. Treasure is the subject of the second offence in the Division. The title, Rājavagga, as above, refers to the first offence in the Division.

[144]:

The summaries of all nine Divisions are collected together here; in the Suttavibhaṅga each Division is followed by its summary. Some of the “catch-words” do not occur in Parivāra and can only be understood by consulting the relevant offences in the Suttavibhaṅga.

[145]:

seyyā ca itthiyo, referring to Bu-Pc.5 and Bu-Pc.6. Vin.4.33 reads seyyāya ve duve, two on sleeping-places, referring to two offences both of Which are concerned with lying down in a sleeping-place.

[146]:

This is part of Bu-Pc.7, but has not been mentioned in the Parivāra.

[147]:

In Parivāra above this line reads bhūtaṃ, aññāya, ujjhāyi, mañco, seyyā ca vuccati. At Vin.4.49 it reads bhūtaṃ, aññāya, ujjhāyaṃ, pakkamanten te duve. These last two deal with setting out without putting away a couch (Bu-Pc.14) and a sleeping-place (Bu-Pc.15).

[148]:

These two lines read somewhat differently in the two contexts. Above they read asammatā, atthaṃgate, upassay’-āmisena ca, / dade, sibbe, vidhānena, nāvā, bhuñjeyya, ekato, while at Vin.4.69 they read asammata-atthaṃgatā, upassaya-āmisa-dānena, sibbati, / addhānaṃ, nāvaṃ, bhuñjeyya, eko ekāya te dasā ti.

[149]:

These two lines are quite different from the summary of Bu-Pc.41–50 at Vin.4.108. There the reading is pūvaṃ, kathā,’panandassa tayaṃ,’ paṭṭhākam eva ca, / Mahānāmo, Pasenadi, senā, viddho ime dasā ti.

[150]:

This refers to Bu-Pc.43. As a reference to Bu-Pc.42 appears to be missing, there are only nine headings for this 5th Division.

[151]:

hāso ca. Vin.4.124 reads toyañ ca, and the water.

[152]:

Merely sāmaṃ above. Vin.4.124 inserts apaccuddhāraka before sāmaṃ, but both these words refer to Bu-Pc.59.

[153]:

The summaries of these lines at Vin.4.140 are quite different from those the Parivāra and read sañciccavadha-sappāṇaṃ, ukko, duṭṭhullachādanaṃ, / ūnavīsati, satthañ ca, saṃvidhāna-Ariṭṭhakaṃ, / ukhhitta-Kaṇḍakañ c’ eva dasa sikkhāpadā ime ti, thus having three lines where Parivāra has two.

[154]:

Vin.4.157 differs considerably from the above. It reads sahadhamma-vivaṇṇañ ca, mohāpana-pahārakaṃ, / talasatti, amūlañ ca, sañcicca, upassuti ca, / paṭibāhanachandañ ca, Dabbañ ca, pariṇāmanaṃ. Both contexts have three lines of summary as this is the Division with twelve sikkhāpadas in it.

[155]:

These two lines differ but slightly from those at Vin.4.174.
