23.18

Regarding this Abhidharma Piṭaka, the various schools differ. Those circulated in this land are the most numerous compared to others. Now, relying on the Sarvāstivāda school, the fundamental body treatise (*śarīra-śāstra*) comes first, the foot treatises (*pāda-śāstra*) come second, and offshoots such as the *Vibhāṣā* are compiled at the end. Since the other schools are numerous and difficult to categorize systematically, they are left to await future [revision]; here they are presented without chronological order.
