?28 Examination of the Pdli Buddhistical Annals. [Sept. 



Upa'li, Da'sako, S6nako, Siggawo, and Tissamoggaliputto who perpe- 

 tuated the Winayo, uninterruptedly from generation to generation, to the 

 third convocation, in the land celebrated by the name of Jambudipo. 



The venerable Upa'li having learned, from the mouth of Bhagawa himself, 

 this Winayo, in its appropriate text (the Pali version) implanted it in the hearts 

 of many. In the fraternity of that venerable personage, from amongst those 

 who having learned the Winayo, and acquired a knowledge thereof, those who 

 attained the condition of Puthujjand, Sotdpanna, Sakatdgdmi and Andgdmi 

 transcended the limits of enumeration. Of those alone who were sanctified (by 

 arahathood) there were one thousand. 



Da'sako was a disciple of his fraternity. He having learned the same from the 

 mouth of the said Upa'li, similarly propounded the Winayo. In the fraternity 

 of that venerable person, the Puthujjand and others who, having learned the 

 Winayo, had acquired a knowledge thereof, were beyond the limits of computa- 

 tion. The sanctified alone amounted to one thousand. 



S6nako was a disciple in the fraternity of Da'sako th£ro. He learned the 

 Winayo from the mouth of his preceptor Da'sako, in like manner, propagated 

 it. In the fraternity of this venerable personage also, the Puthujjand and others, 

 who, having learned the Winayo, acquired a knowledge thereof, were beyond 

 the limits of computation. The sanctified alone amounted to one thousand. 



Siggawo was a disciple in the fraternity of Da'sako the>o, and having learned 

 the Winayo in the fraternity of that the>o, became the chief of a thousand Ara- 

 hontd. In the fraternity of that venerable personage, having learned the Winayo 

 he acquired a knowledge thereof, as to the Puthujjand, Sdtdpannd, Sakatdgdmv 

 Andgdmi and Arahantd, there was no computing their number, either in hun- 

 dreds or in thousands. At that period in Jambudipo the number of Bhikkhus 

 was very great. The supernatural gifts of the th£ro Moggaliputatisso, will 

 be celebrated in the third convocation. 



Thus this Winayo -pit ahan, be it known, has been handed down through 

 these generations of preceptors, from its commencement to the third convo- 

 cation. In order to the due understanding of the third convocation, this 

 connecting narrative should be borne in mind. 



The five hundred sanctified and supernaturally gifted the>os, who had Maha'- 

 kassapo for their chief, having held the (first) convocation on Dhammo, 

 and caused it to be universally glorified, and having lived the full measure of 

 human existence, released from all human frailties, were extinguished like 

 lamps exhausted of oil. 



Thereafter when, in the prescribed rotation of night and day, a hundred years 

 had elapsed from the Parinibbdnan of Bhagawa', certain Bhikkhus resident in 

 Wesdli, natives of Wajji (decided) as follows : 



" * The preservation of salt in horn is allowable.'' 



" f The allowance of two inches is admissible." 



* Priests can only keep salt for seven days. The innovation consisted in 

 deciding that if kept in horns, it might be retained for any period. 



f Priests should not take substantial food after midday. Here it is allowed 

 till the shadow of the declining sun is two inches long.
