Parivāra
TextAlso known as Parivārapāṭha
律蔵最後の書で、残りの律を十九章に要約したもの。ディーパという比丘の作とされるが、注釈書はその核心であるソラサ・パリヴァーラが第一結集の時点で既に存在していたと主張する
The last book of the Vinaya Piṭaka.
It is a digest of the other parts of the Vinaya and consists of nineteen chapters. The colophon states that the book was the work of a monk named Dīpa, probably of Sri Lanka.
The Commentaries (e.g., DA.i.17; Sp.i.18), however, speak of the Soḷasa Parivāra as having formed part of the Vinaya when it was rehearsed at the First Council. Perhaps the Parivāra corresponds to the mātikā of the Abhidhamma and was enlarged later on.
