526 Examination of the Pdli Buddhistical Annals. [Julv, 



11 The whole of the foregoing comprising in it the nine divisions are, the Suttan, 

 GSyyan, Weyydkaran, Gdthd, Uddnan, Itiwuttahan, Jdtakan, Abbhutadhammo 

 and the WMattan. 



" The Sdttan it is to be understood, contains, the two Wibhangd and (two) 

 Niddfod, the Khandako and Pariwdro, and in the Suttanipdto, the Mangalasut- 

 tan, Ratana suttan, Ndlaka suttan as well as the Tuwataka suttan, and all the 

 other discourses of Tathdgato bearing the signification of * SuttanS 



" Be it understood further that the Geyyan contains every Suttan composed 

 in Gdthd (metre) together with (its prose portions). The whole of the Sangut- 

 tako consists throughout of that description (of composition being Gdthd toge- 

 ther with prose.) 



" The Wdyydkaranan be it understood, consists of the whole of Abhidhamma 

 Pitako, the Suttantd not composed in Gdthd, and the words of Buddho which 

 are not classified under any of the other eight Angdni, 



" Be it known the Gdthd consists of the Dhammap adini, Theragdthd, Theri- 

 gdthd and those unmixed (detached) Gdthd not comprehended in any of the 

 above named Sfittantd. 



" The Udanan be it known, consists of the eighty-two Suttantd delivered (by 

 Buddho) in the form of hymns of joyous inspiration. 



il The Ittiwattakan, be it understood, comprises the one hundred and ten 

 Suttantd which commence with the words : ' It was thus said by BhagawaV 

 " The Jdtakan, be it understood, comprises the five hundred and fifty Jdta- 

 Mni (incarnations of Buddho) commencing with the Appanakajdtakan. 



" The Abhutadhammo, be it understood, comprises all the S&ttantd contain- 

 ing the miracles and wonders, commencing with such expressions as ' bhik- 

 khus.' These miraculous and wonderous dhamrnd (powers) are vouchsafed to 

 1 A'nando.' 



" The Wedattan, be it understood, consists of the Chulatvedattan, the Mahd- 

 ivedattan, the Sammdditthi, the Sakkapanhd, the Sankhdrabhajaniyd, the Mahd- 

 punndman, as well as the whole of those Stittantu which have conferred wisdom 

 and joy on those who heard them. 



" Thus by the classification into Angdni, it consists of nine divisions." 

 " How does it by the Dhammakkhando division consist of eighty-four thou- 

 sand portions ?" 



" It comprises the whole word of Buddho. (It has been said by A'nando,) 

 Dwdsitan, Buddhato gantun dwesahassdni bhikkhuto, chaturdsiti sahassdni 

 y6 mi dhamrnd pawattito. ' I received from Buddho himself eighty-two thou- 

 sand ; and from the bhikkhus two thousand ; these are the eighty-four thousand 

 dhamrnd maintained by me/ By this explanation of the Dhammakkhando it 

 consists of eighty-four thousand divisions. A Suttan in which one subject 

 alone is treated (or literally consists of one joint) is called Ekddhammakkhando. 

 Any Dhammakkhando which treats of a plurality of subjects, or consists of 

 more than one joint, is called by the number (of these subjects treated). 



M In the Winayo also, there is the Watthu, the Mdtikd, the Padabhajaniyan, 

 the A'patti, the Andpatti and the Tikichchabhedo classifications. In that (divi- 

 sion) likewise, be it understood, that each class constitutes a Dhammakkhando. 

 " Thus by the Dhammakkhando division, it consists of eighty-four thousand 

 parts.
