v2.c27.23
It is mentioned in the Anguttara Commentary¹⁰ that, after the depredations of Candāla-Tissa, when the religion was at a very low ebb, a discussion arose between the Pamsukulikas and the Dhammakathikas as to which was the more important branch of the sāsana—pariyatti or patipatti. The Pamsukulikas voted for patipatti, but were defeated by the others.
