c23.s2.1

A few further categories are mentioned in the *Bhagavatī Sūtra*, but do not occur in the Buddhist texts. These include the four *pāṇagāim* and the four *apāṇagāim*, the eight *carimāim*, and the six *anaikkamaṇijjāim*. The two former are rules governing the conduct of the ascetic in his last penance, and have already been dealt with.¹ The eight *carimāim* have also been treated in another context,² and require little further attention.
