Two hundred years after the Buddha's nirvāṇa, from the Sarvāstivāda school emerged the Vātsīputrīya school. From the Vātsīputrīya school three schools further emerged: first, the Dharmottarīya; second, the Bhadrayānīya; third, the Channagirika. From the Mahīśāsaka school emerged the Madhyamika [or Antarābhava?]. From the Kāśyapīya school emerged two schools: first, the Saṃkrāntivāda; second, the Śānmmatīya (one text has Sammītiya). At the time of four hundred years, from the Mahāsāṃghika school emerged six schools: first, the Vyavahāra [or Ekavyāvahārika]; second, the Bahuśrutīya; third, the Prajñaptivāda; fourth, the Veda [or Caitya?]; fifth, the Śaila; sixth, the Uttaraśaila. Another text includes the Dharmaguptaka school. (These eighteen schools have similarities and differences; since the text would be burdensome, they are not transcribed in full).
