As I have mentioned elsewhere, Sinhalese and Chinese accounts speak of another Council, the Mahâsangha or Mahâsangîti. Though its date is uncertain, there is a consensus of tradition to the effect that it recognized a canon of its own, different from our Pali Canon and containing a larger amount of popular matter. - [Previous: v1.c19.75](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.eliot-1921.v1.c19.75) - [Next: v1.c19.77](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.eliot-1921.v1.c19.77) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.eliot-1921.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.eliot-1921.v1.c19.76](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.religion.eliot-1921.v1.c19.76) · Pramāṇa
