Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names

1. Cula Vagga - The second of the two volumes known as the two Khandhakas of the Vinaya Pitaka. The book consists of twelve chapters or Khandhakas, and brings the ecclesiastical history of the Buddhist Order down to the Second Council, one hundred years after the Buddhas death. In the Cula Vagga are found several references to the Sutta Vibhanga, which leads us to the hypothesis that the latter work was regarded as an authoritative text at the time the Cula Vagga was finished. For a discussion on the contexts of the Cula Vagga and their historical value see Law, Pali Lit., pp.14ff and passim.
