Geiger⁸ calls this a commentary on the Paritta, but it is more probable that paritta is here used as an adjective, meaning short, concise, and that what is meant is a short or concise commentary on the Piṭakas. - [Previous: v2.c27.1010](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.1010) - [Next: v2.c27.1012](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.1012) - [Up: v2.c27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.1011](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c27.1011) · Pramāṇa
