P. 240, L. 1, Mm. Haraprasāda *Śāstrī* (Calcutta Review, Sept. 1930, p. 441f.) would translate: "Vinayapiṭaka according to the text of the Mahāsaṅghikas who declare the Buddha to be lokottara." For, he says, all the Mahāsaṅghikas believe the Buddha to be lokottara, and in the list of the eighteen sects "Lokottaravādins" are not mentioned. But Vasumitra and Bhavya mention the Lokottaravādins as a sect of the Mahāsaṅghikas. See Mrs. *Rhys Davids*, Points of Controversy, p. xxxvi f. and Max Walleser, Die Sekten des alten Buddhismus, Heidelberg 1927, pp. 28, 78.
