61. The literature on the negative consequences of intoxicating drinks is not completely consistent. Some works refer to thirty-five, others to thirty-six, and some to forty negative consequences. The content of these lists also varies. Skt1 and Taishō 791 list thirty-five, Skt2 lists thirty-six. When referring to this passage of the Nandikasūtra, two Sanskrit manuscripts of the Mahākarmavibhaṅga mention thirty-five and one mentions forty disadvantages. The *Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra lists thirty-six; the Putralekha (Toh 4187) refers to thirty-five; Transformation of Karma (Toh 339) lists thirty-five; The Exposition of Karma (Toh 388) refers to thirty-five, but then lists thirty-six . Kawa Paltsek’s An Account of the Precious Teachings together with a Lineage of the Śākya Clan (Toh 4357), a Tengyur text that quotes from several texts contained in the Potala manuscript, refers to thirty-six negative consequences. For more information on this topic in the Chinese canonical literature see Vinītā 2010, p. 126, n. a.
