Second, citing parallels. The phrasing and categories of text in the two piṭakas of Vinaya and Abhidharma likewise have the divisions of sections and aggregates (skandhas), just like the chapter categories of the sūtras. As for 'sections and aggregates', this refers to the five sections and six aggregates: first, pārājika; second, saṃghāvaśeṣa; third, prāyaścittika; fourth, pratideśanīya; fifth, duṣkṛta—these are called the five sections. Adding thullaccaya below saṃghāvaśeṣa yields the name 'six aggregates'. If one further opens durukta from duṣkṛta, they become seven aggregates. 'Pitan' (Abhidharma) is fully called Abhidharma, translated here as 'incomparable dharma', which is the Abhidharma-piṭaka. 'Aggregate' (khandha/skandha) is translated here as 'aggregate of dharmas'; it also groups dharmas of associated types together into a single section. As in the *Aṣṭagrantha-śāstra*, it mentions: first, the aggregate of karma, clarifying the three karmas; second, the aggregate of proclivities (anusaya), clarifying the one hundred and eight afflictions; third, knowledge; fourth, absorption (samādhi); fifth, faculties (indriya); sixth, great elements (mahābhūta); seventh, views (dṛṣṭi); and eighth, miscellaneous—these can be understood through reflection.
