11 Thus this word of Buddho, from its being left undivided, is by its ' design 1 

 one single class. By its division into Dhammo and Winayo, it consists of two 

 classes, and so forth ; and having been separated and arranged by the sanctified 

 priesthood, having Maha'kassapo for their chief who held the convocation, 

 this classification has been definitively ordained, viz. thus ' this is the Dham- 

 mo, 1 * this the Winayo, 1 ' this the Patand buddha wachanan,' ' this the Maj- 

 jhima buddha wachanan, 1 ' this the Pachima buddha wachanan, 1 * this the 

 Winaya pitakan, 1 ' this the Sutta pitakan 1 , l this the Abhidhamma pitakan, 1 

 * this the Dighanikdyo, 1 and so forth to the Khuddhanikdyo, ' these the Sut- 

 tantd, 1 * these the Angdni, 1 and ' these eighty-four thousand Dhammakkhando. 



11 This was not all, for moreover, having established the further several subdi- 

 visions of classifications of Udddnan, Waggo, Peydlan, Ekanipdto, Dakanipdto 

 and so forth (of Nipatd), the Sanyuttan, Panasd, as set forth in the three 

 Pitakdni, the convocation was closed in seven months. 



* J At the conclusion of this convocation or its being announced * this reli- 

 gion of the deity gifted with ten powers had been rendered effective to endure 

 for five thousand years, by the thero Maha'kassapo,' from the exuberance of 

 its exultation, as if pouring forth its ' sadhus 1 the great earth, from the abyss 

 of the waters under the earth, in various ways quaked, (from east to west ;) 

 requaked (from north to south) ; and quaked again (from Zenith to Nadir) ; 

 and various miracles were manifested. 



u This is called the ' Patima Sangiti 1 (first convocation). It is also 

 (called) in this world, from its having been conducted by five hundred persons, 

 Panchasatikd Sangiti, the (convocation of five hundred), and because it 

 was exclusively held by the theros, it is likewise called the The'rikaV
