Ānanda then rose from his seat, bared his right shoulder, placed his right knee on the ground, joined his palms, and said to Mahākāśyapa: 'I personally heard from the Buddha and memorized the Buddha's words, beginning from the first section up to all the skandhakas, the various vinaya divisions, and the Ekottarika; all these are compiled as the Vinaya-piṭaka.' They then compiled all the long sūtras as the \*Dīrgha-āgama\*; all the middle-length sūtras as the \*Madhyama-āgama\*; from one thing up to ten things, and from ten things up to eleven things, as the \*Ekottarika-āgama\*; and miscellaneous matters as the \*Saṃyukta-āgama\*. Such works as the \*Jātaka\*, \*Itivṛttaka\*, up to the \*Gāthā-sūtras\* were compiled as the Miscellaneous Piṭaka. The treatises on conditioned and unconditioned states, connections, and corresponding topics were compiled as the Abhidharma-piṭaka. At that time they were compiled as the Tripiṭaka. In Rājagṛha, five hundred arhats together compiled the Dharma and Vinaya; therefore it is said that those who compiled the Dharma and Vinaya were five hundred persons. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 12.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.40) - [Next: 12.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.42) - [Up: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.12.41) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.12.41) · Pramāṇa
