⁵ Paṭis. M., II, p. 177 devotes a chapter to the exposition of Suñña. The general definition offered by it is that the things of the world are devoid of attā or attaniya. Then it says that the Suñña can be explained in 24 ways, viz., suññasuññaṃ, saṅkhārasuññaṃ, vipariṇāmasuññaṃ, etc., up to paramatthasuññaṃ (=Nibbāna). The various suññas may well be compared to the 18 kinds of the Śūnyatās of the Mahāyāna scriptures.
