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.]
