v2.c19.s4.36

We should be inclined to think that the Kathāvatthu formed the conclusion of the Abhidhammapiṭaka, but in the traditional enumeration of the texts, it comes fifth. The *sixth* is the Yamaka,³ the "Book of double questions," so called because all the questions are presented and explained in two ways.⁴ This work, which is very difficult to understand, is intended to dispel any doubts which might still arise after the first five books of the Abhidhamma.
