However, commentators differ: some say, "Because the text can contain the principle, it is called a collection"; others say, "Because the principle can contain the text, it is called a collection." We now say that the names of these three teachings are each a distinct clause. Because each of the three names contains both text and principle, they are called collections. The \*Āgamas\* are the concentration collection, hence it is said that they "seek in sequence"; the \*Vinaya\* is the precept collection, hence it is said that it "seeks through causes and conditions"; the \*Abhidharma\* is the wisdom collection, hence it is said that it "seeks through nature and characteristics." Because this teaching definitively pertains to the Small Vehicle, the \*Lotus Sūtra\* says: "Greedily attached to the Small Vehicle, students of the Tripiṭaka." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.8) - [Next: 3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.10) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.3.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.3.9) · Pramāṇa
