1. Chapter on the Three Piṭakas

နမဿေတွာန သမ္ဗုဒ္ဓံ, အဂ္ဂဝံသဝရံဝရံ;

နတွာန ဓမ္မံ ဗုဒ္ဓဇံ, သံဃဉ္စာပိနိရင်္ဂဏံ.

Having paid homage to the Perfectly Enlightened One, the supreme, the most excellent of the noble lineage; having bowed to the Dhamma born of the Buddha, and also to the stainless Sangha.

ဂန္ထဝံသမ္ပိ နိဿာယ, ဂန္ထဝံသံ ပကထိဿံ;

တိပေဋကသမာဟာရံ, သာဓုနံ ဇင်္ဃဒါသကံ.

Relying on the Lineage of Texts, I shall proclaim the Lineage of Texts, a compilation of the Tipiṭaka, a support for the legs of the virtuous.

ဝိမတိနောဒနမာရမ္ဘံ, တံ မေ သုဏာထ သာဓဝေါ;

သဗ္ဗမ္ပိ ဗုဒ္ဓဝစနံ, ဝိမုတ္တိ စ သဟေတုကံ.

Listen to me, O virtuous ones, as I begin this dispeller of doubt. All the word of the Buddha is liberation along with its cause.

ဟောတိ ဧကဝိဓံယေဝ, တိဝိဓံ ပိဋကေန စ;

တဉ္စ သဗ္ဗမ္ပိ ကေဝလံ, ပဉ္စဝိဓံ နိကာယတော.

It is of a single kind, and threefold by way of the Piṭakas; and all of that, in its entirety, is fivefold by way of the Nikāyas.

အင်္ဂတော စ နဝဝိဓံ, ဓမ္မက္ခန္ဓဂဏနတော;

စတုရာသီတိ သဟဿ, ဓမ္မက္ခန္ဓပဘေဒနန္တိ.

It is ninefold by way of its parts, and by the count of the Dhamma aggregates, there are eighty-four thousand divisions of Dhamma aggregates.

ကထံ ပိဋကတော ပိဋကဉှိ တိဝိဓံ ဟောတိ?

How is it threefold by way of the Piṭakas?

What is the Saṃyutta Nikāya? The Sagāthāvagga, the Nidānavagga, the Khandhakavagga, the Saḷāyatanavagga, and the Mahāvagga—these five divisions are called the Saṃyutta Nikāya. In these five divisions, there are seven thousand, seven hundred, and sixty-two suttas. [That collection beginning with the Sagāthāvagga, which has seven thousand, seven hundred, and sixty-two suttas, should be known by the wise as the Saṃyutta Nikāya.]

How is it ninefold by way of its parts? Sutta, geyya, veyyākaraṇa, gāthā, udāna, itivuttaka, jātaka, abbhutadhamma, and vedalla; thus it is of nine kinds. Therein, the two Vibhaṅgas, the Niddesa, the Khandhakas, and the Parivāra; in the Suttanipāta, the Maṅgala Sutta, Ratana Sutta, and Tuvaṭṭaka Sutta; and any other word of the Tathāgata called a 'sutta' is to be known as sutta. All that is accompanied by verse is to be known as geyya. In the Saṃyutta Nikāya, the entire Sagāthāvagga is geyya. The entire Abhidhamma Piṭaka, suttas without verse, and any other word of the Buddha not included in the other eight parts is to be known as veyyākaraṇa. The Dhammapada, Theragāthā, Therīgāthā, and the pure verses in the Suttanipāta not designated as suttas, are to be known as gāthā. The eighty-two suttas connected with verses of joyous knowledge are to be known as udāna. The one hundred and ten suttas that proceed in the manner of 'This was said by the Blessed One...' are to be known as itivuttaka. The five hundred and fifty Jātakas, beginning with the Apaṇṇaka Jātaka, are to be known as jātaka. All suttas connected with wonderful and marvelous phenomena, which proceed in the manner of 'Bhikkhus, there are these four wonderful and marvelous qualities in Ānanda...' are to be known as abbhutadhamma. The Cūḷavedalla, Mahāvedalla, Sammādiṭṭhi, Sakkapañha, Saṅkhārabhājaniya, Mahāpuṇṇama suttas, and all other suttas asked after having attained knowledge and satisfaction, are to be known as vedalla. What are the eighty-four thousand Dhamma aggregates? They are difficult to know. If I were to explain the eighty-four thousand Dhamma aggregates in detail, it would be a great proliferation. Therefore, I will explain by way of a method. One topic is one Dhamma aggregate; one causal account is one Dhamma aggregate; one question asked is one Dhamma aggregate; one answer given is one Dhamma aggregate. By whom were the eighty-four thousand Dhamma aggregates spoken? Where were they spoken? When were they spoken? In reference to whom were they spoken? For what purpose were they spoken? By whom were they remembered? By whom were they transmitted? For what purpose should they be mastered? Here is the answer: By whom were they spoken? By the Buddha and the subsequent enlightened ones. Where were they spoken? Among devas and humans. When were they spoken? During the Blessed One's lifetime and in the time after. In reference to whom were they spoken? In reference to the group of five and other trainable disciples. For what purpose were they spoken? So that, having understood what is faulty and what is faultless, having abandoned the faulty and practiced the faultless, one might attain the goal of Nibbāna and accomplish welfare in this life and in the lives to come.

By whom were they remembered? They were remembered by the subsequent enlightened ones and by their pupils and grand-pupils. By whom were they transmitted? They were transmitted by the succession of teachers. For what purpose should they be mastered? So that, having understood what is faulty and what is faultless, having abandoned the faulty and practiced the faultless, one might attain the goal of Nibbāna and accomplish welfare in this life and in the lives to come. Since they are thus conducive to the goal of Nibbāna and to welfare in this life and in the lives to come, they should be diligently mastered, remembered, recited, and chanted. [Thus ends the first chapter, called 'The Elucidation of the Three Piṭakas,' in the Minor Lineage of Texts.]

Now, there are teachers. There are ancient teachers, commentary teachers, authors of texts, and teachers with three kinds of names. Who are the ancient teachers? At the First Council, five hundred arahants accomplished the task of determining the name, meaning, intention, and purification of the phrasing for the five Nikāyas, and the remaining duties. At the Second Council, seven hundred arahants again performed the same task concerning the words and meaning. At the Third Council, a thousand arahants again performed the same task concerning the words and meaning.

Among the teachers, there are teachers from Jambudīpa and teachers from Laṅkādīpa. Who are the teachers from Jambudīpa? Who are the teachers from Laṅkādīpa? Mahākaccāyana was a teacher from Jambudīpa.

The teacher of the Mahāaṭṭhakathā, the teacher of the Mahāpaccari, the teacher of the Mahākurundi, and two other teachers were from Jambudīpa; these were the ancient teachers. The teachers from Laṅkādīpa, it is said, existed in the time before the teacher Buddhaghosa. The great teacher Buddhaghosa was from Jambudīpa. It is said that he was the son of a brahmin named Kesi, the chaplain of a king, in the village of Ghosaka in the Magadha kingdom. After going forth into the Teacher's dispensation, he went to Laṅkādīpa and composed the texts as previously described.

I shall speak of the assigning of names, the book, and the author, and also the writing and causing to be written, immediately thereafter. There, regarding the eighty-four thousand Dhamma-aggregates—the names of the Baskets, Collections, Divisions, Sections, Nipātas, and so on—by whom were they assigned, where were they assigned, when were they assigned, and for what purpose were they assigned? Here is the explanation: By whom were they assigned? They were assigned by the five hundred arahants. Chanting all the Buddha’s words, they said, "This is a Basket, this is a Collection, this is a Division, this is a Section, this is a Nipāta." Thus, they assigned these and other names. Where were they assigned? They were assigned at the Dhamma pavilion at the foot of Vebhāra Mountain in Rājagaha. When were they assigned? They were assigned at the time of the First Council after the Blessed One’s Parinibbāna. For what purpose were they assigned? They were assigned for the ease of designation and for the ease of retention of the Dhamma-aggregates. During the Council, the five hundred arahants, regarding the names of those Dhamma-aggregates by section and nipāta, declared, "Let this Dhamma-aggregate have this name, and let this treatise have this name." They performed all the tasks related to naming and so on. Those arahants reasoned that if the task of naming and so on had not been done, it would not have been well-manifest. Therefore, for the sake of ease of designation, the task of naming and so on was done. For the benefit of the future, naming and so on was established, for that which has not been named is not at all well-manifest. The explanation of the assigning of names to the Dhamma-aggregates is concluded.

The eighty-four thousand Dhamma-aggregates: by whom were they inscribed in books, when were they inscribed, and for what purpose were they inscribed? Here is the explanation: By whom were they inscribed? They were inscribed by the great nāgas, the arahants. Where were they inscribed? They were inscribed on the island of Laṅkā. When were they inscribed? They were inscribed in the time of King Vaṭṭagāmaṇi, son of King Saddhātissa. For what purpose were they inscribed? They were inscribed for the non-destruction of the Dhamma-aggregates and for the stability of the True Dhamma.

Indeed, the Blessed One, our Sugata, the steadfast one, while living, taught the five Nikāyas until his attainment of Parinibbāna.

သဗ္ဗေပိ တေ ဘိက္ခု အာဒိ, မနသာ ဝစသာဟာရော;

သဗ္ဗေ စ ဝါစုဂ္ဂတာ ဟောန္တိ, မဟာပညာသတိဝရာ.

All those monks from the beginning, having taken it up by mind and speech, were all skilled in oral transmission, possessing great wisdom and excellent mindfulness.

နိဗ္ဗူတေ လောကနာထမှိ, တတော ဝဿသတံ ဘဝေ;

အရိယာနရိယာ စာပိ စ, သဗ္ဗေ ဝါစုဂ္ဂတာ ဓုဝံ.

When the Protector of the World had attained Nibbāna, for a hundred years thereafter, both the noble and the non-noble disciples were all surely skilled in oral transmission.

တတော ပရံ အဋ္ဌရသံ, ဒွိသတံဝဿ ဂဏနံ;

သဗ္ဗေ ပုထုဇ္ဇနာ စေဝ, အရိယာ စ သဗ္ဗေပိတေ.

Then after that, for a count of two hundred and eighteen years, all the worldlings and all the noble ones,

မနသာဝစသာယေဝ, ဝါစုဂ္ဂတာဝ သဗ္ဗဒါ;

ဒုဋ္ဌဂါမဏိရညော စ, ကာလေ ဝါစုဂ္ဂတာ ဓုဝံ.

were always skilled in oral transmission by mind and speech; and in the time of King Duṭṭhagāmaṇi, they were surely skilled in oral transmission.

အရိယာနရိယာပိ စ, နိကာယေ ဓာရဏာသဒါ;

တတော ပရမှိ ရာဇာ စ, တတော စုတော စ တုသိတေ.

Both the noble and the non-noble disciples were always retainers of the Nikāyas; then after that, the king, having passed away from there, was in Tusita.

ဥပ္ပဇ္ဇိ ဒေဝ လောကေ သော, ဒေဝေဟိ ပရိဝါရိတော;

သဒ္ဓါ တိဿောတိ နာမေန, တဿ ကနိဋ္ဌကော ဟိတော.တတော လဒ္ဓရဋ္ဌော ဟောတိ, ဗုဒ္ဓသာသနပါလကော.

He arose in the deva world, surrounded by devas. His younger brother, named Saddhātissa, was devoted to him. Then, having obtained the kingdom, he became a protector of the Buddha’s Dispensation.

တဒါ ကာလေ ဘိက္ခူ အာသုံ, သဗ္ဗေ ဝါစုဂ္ဂတာ သဒါ;

နိကာယေ ပဉ္စဝေဓေဝ, ယာဝ ရညော စ ဓာရဏာ;

ဒေဝလောကေဋ္ဌိတော သန္တော, တဒါ ဝါစုဂ္ဂတာ တတော.

At that time, the monks were always skilled in oral transmission; the fivefold Nikāyas were retained even during the king’s reign. Then that king, having passed away, was reborn in Tusita; while he was established in the deva world, the oral transmission continued from that time.

တဿ ပုတ္တာပိ အဟေသုံ, အနေကာ ဝရဇ္ဇံ ဂတာ;

အနုက္ကမေန စုတတေ, ဒေဝလောကံ ဂတာ ဓုဝံ;

နိကာယေ ပဉ္စဝိဓေဝ, ဓာရဏာဝသတိမတာ.

He also had many sons who attained excellent rule; passing away in succession, they surely went to the deva world. Even then, all the monks were always skilled in oral transmission; the fivefold Nikāyas were retained by those with mindfulness and mastery.

တတော ပရံ ပေါတ္ထကေသု, နိကာယာ ပဉ္စ ပိဋ္ဌိတာ;

တဒါ အဋ္ဌကထာ ဋီကာ, သဗ္ဗေ ဂန္ထာ ပေါတ္ထကေ ဂတာ;

သံဋ္ဌိတာသံ ဌိတာ ဟောန္တိ, သဗ္ဗေပိ နော န သန္တိတေ.

Thereafter, the five Nikāyas were inscribed in books; then the commentaries and sub-commentaries, all texts went into books. All the texts that were in the books—the Pāli, the commentaries, and the sub-commentaries—were established and firm; all of them, not one was lost.

တဒါ တေ ပေါတ္ထကေယေဝ, နိကာယာ ပိဌိတာ ခိလာ;

တဒါ အဋ္ဌကထာဒီနိ, ဘဝန္တီတိ ဝဒန္တိ စ.

At that time, in those very books, the Nikāyas were inscribed and made unshakeable; and they say that then the commentaries and so on came into being.

This preservation should be spoken of by the wise. It concerns the son of King Saddhātissa, king of Laṅkādīpa, a righteous and excellent lord. At that time, all the arahants looked into the future.

ခီဏာသဝါ ပဿန္တိ တေ, ဒုပညေဝ ပုထုဇ္ဇနေ;

The arahants saw the worldlings as being of little wisdom; the majority of those monks were worldlings. They thought, 'They will not be able to master the five Nikāyas by oral transmission.' Therefore, the arahants inscribed all five in books.

သဒ္ဓမ္မဋ္ဌိတိ စိရတ္တာယ, ဇနာနံ ပုညတ္ထာယ စ;

အဋ္ဌကထာ ဋီကာ သဗ္ဗေ, တေ ဟောန္တိ ပေါတ္ထကေဋ္ဌိတာ.

For the long-lasting stability of the True Dhamma, and for the sake of the people’s merit; from then on, all the Nikāyas were in books. The commentaries and sub-commentaries, all of them were established in books.

တတော ပဋ္ဌာယတေ သဗ္ဗေ, ဘိက္ခု အာဒိ မဟာဂဏာ;

From then on, all the monks and other great communities always saw everything as it was established in the books.

Whatever wise and steadfast person composes or causes to be composed a commentary or other text, for them there is an endless accumulation of merit, an endless fruit of merit. It is like creating eighty-four thousand shrines, like creating eighty-four thousand Buddha images, like planting eighty-four thousand Bodhi trees, like constructing eighty-four thousand monasteries. Whoever makes or causes to be made a treasury of the Buddha’s words, whoever adorns or causes to be adorned the Buddha’s words, whoever writes or causes to be written the Buddha’s words; whoever gives or causes to be given a book or the price of a book; or oil, powder, or grain for the repair of a damaged book; or anything needed to fill holes in a book; or thread, or a pair of wooden boards for binding a book; or cloth for wrapping a book; or a cord for tying a book; or a bag for a bundle of books—whoever gives or causes any of these to be given, for them there is an endless accumulation of merit.

It is like creating eighty-four thousand shrines, like constructing eighty-four thousand monasteries.

He experiences the good fortune of devas and humans again and again; having attained the fruit of Arahantship, he will attain Nibbāna.

Therefore, a wise person, seeing his own welfare, should make texts himself, and also cause others to make them.

ဓမ္မမဉ္ဇူသာ ဂန္ထေ စ, လေခံ ကရေ ကာရာပယေ.

In established texts within books—the Pāli, commentaries, and so on—and in the Dhammamañjūsā text, one should write or cause to be written.

ပေါတ္ထကံ ပေါတ္ထကမူလဉ္စ, တေသံ စုလ္လထူသမ္ပိ စ;

ပိလောတိကာဒိကံ သုတ္တံ, ကဋ္ဌဖလဒွယမှိ စ.

A book and the price of a book, and even their small fragments; rags and so on, thread, and two wooden boards.

And for binding the Dhamma, any costly cloth; and any cord for binding the Dhamma, and any bag.

အညော စာပိ ဒဇ္ဇာပေယျ, မိတ္တသဟာယဗန္ဓဝေတိ.

One should give in the field of Dhamma with a clear and confident mind; and one should also cause others to give—friends, companions, and relatives.

Thus ends the fifth chapter named 'Miscellaneous Explanation' in the Cūḷaganthavaṃsa.

I, born in the Haṃsa country, known as Nandapañña, endowed with faith, virtue, and energy, seeking the taste of the Dhamma.

Seeking again and again the peaceful state of Nibbāna; dwelling in a forest park, I made a compilation of the Tipiṭaka; this minor Chronicle of Books is by Ariyasaṅghadāsa.

Thus, for the sake of joy, the Minor Chronicle of Books, composed by the forest-dwelling teacher Nandapaññā, is concluded.
