Pariyattibhedaṃ sampattiṃ vipattiñcāpi yaṃ yahiṃ

pāpuṇāti yathā bhikkhu tampi sabbaṃ vibhāvaye iti ayampi gāthā vuttatthā hoti. Evaṃ nānappakārato piṭakāni ñatvā tesaṃ vasena sabbampetaṃ saṅgayhamānaṃ tīṇi piṭakāni hontīti.

Kathaṃ nikāyato pañca nikāyāti? sabbameva hetaṃ dīghanikāyo majjhimanikāyo saṃyuttanikāyo aṅguttaranikāyo khuddakanikāyoti pañcappabhedaṃ hoti.

Tattha katamo dīghanikāyo? tivaggasaṅgahāni brahmajālādīni catuttiṃsa suttāni.
