Something is known of the Vinaya of the Sarvastivadins existing in a
Chinese translation and in fragments of the Sanskrit original found in
Central Asia. It also consists of the Patimokkha embedded in a
commentary called Vibhaga and of two treatises describing the foundation
of the order and its statutes. They are called Kshudrakavastu and
Vinayavastu. In these works the narrative and anecdotal element is
larger than in the Pali Vinaya. See also my remarks on the Mahavastu
under the Mahayanist Canon. For some details about the Dharmagupta
Vinaya, see _J.A._ 1916, ii. p. 20: for a longish extract from the
Muelasarv. Vinaya, _J.A._ 1914, ii. pp. 493-522.]
[Footnote 605: I find it hard to accept Francke's view that the Digha
should be regarded as the Book of the Tathagata, deliberately composed
to expound the doctrine of Buddhahood. Many of the suttas do not deal
with the Tathagata.]
[Footnote 606: The Samyutta quotes by name a passage from the Digha as
"spoken by the Lord": compare Sam. Nik. XXII. 4 with Dig. Nik. 21. Both
the Anguttara and Samyutta quote the last two cantos of the
Sutta-Nipata.]
[Footnote 607: It appears that the canonical book of the Jataka consists
only of verses and does not include explanatory prose matter. Something
similar to these collections of verses which are not fully intelligible
without a commentary explaining the occasions on which they were uttered
may be seen in Chandogya Up. VI. The father's answers are given but the
son's questions which render them intelligible are not found in the text
but are supplied in the commentary.]
