Cūḷa Vagga

1. Cūḷa Vagga.– The second of the two volumes known as the two Khandhakas of the Vinaya Piṭaka. The book consists of twelve chapters (khandhaka), and brings the ecclesiastical history of the Buddhist Order down to the Second Council, one hundred years after the Buddha’s death. In the Cūḷa Vagga are found several references to the Sutta Vibhaṅga, which leads us to the hypothesis that the latter work was regarded as an authoritative text at the time the Cūḷa Vagga was finished. For a discussion on the contexts of the Cūḷa Vagga and their historical value see Law, Pāḷi Lit., pp.14 ff and passim.

2. Cūḷa Vagga.– The fifth chapter of the Ṭika Nipāta of the Aṅguttaranikāya. A.i.150 ff.

3. Cūḷa Vagga.– The seventh chapter of the Udāna. Ud., pp.74 ff.

4. Cūḷa Vagga.– The third chapter of the Petavatthu. Pv., pp.33 ff.

5. Cūḷa Vagga.– The second chapter of the Suttanipāta. SN., pp.29‑72.
