c8.259

*Khuddiya-Vimāṇaparibhatti*-This is an *ajjhayaṇa* dealing with the *vimānas* which may or may not have entered *āvalikā*. It is the 1st *ajjhayaṇa* of *Saṅkhevitadasā* (vide p. 55, fn. 2). From *Samavāya* (s. 37, 38 and 40) we learn that this *ajjhayaṇa* had at least 3 *vaggas*, the 1st having 37 *uddesaṇakālas*, the 2nd 38 and the 3rd 40 respectively. This *ajjhayaṇa* used to be prescribed as one of the text-books to a Sādhu whose *dikṣāparyāya* was of 11 years.
