**1. Cūla Vagga.**—The second of the two volumes known as the two **Khandhakas** of the Vinaya Piṭaka. The book consists of twelve chapters or Khandhakas, and brings the ecclesiastical history of the Buddhist Order down to the Second Council, one hundred years after the Buddha's death. In the Cūla Vagga are found several references to the **Suttavibhaṅga**, which leads us to the hypothesis that the latter work was regarded as an authoritative text at the time the Cūla Vagga was finished.¹
