It presupposes the formulas and categories of the Dhamma-Saṃgaṇi, but new ones are added. Section I deals with the fundamental conceptions and fundamental truths of Buddhism, with which the Dhamma-Saṃgaṇi too begins, Section II deals with the knowledge of the sense impressions up to the highest knowledge of a Buddha and Section III with the things which hinder knowledge. The last section, which deals with the various conditions in human and non-human existences, contains a considerable mythological element. - [Previous: v2.c19.s4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s4.12) - [Next: v2.c19.s4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s4.14) - [Up: v2.c19.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s4) ## Cites (2) - [Vibhaṅga](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.ap.vibhanga) — Pāli - [Dhammasaṅgaṇī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.ap.dhammasangani) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s4.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s4.13) · Pramāṇa
