From his General Disposition of the Vinaya ('Dul-ba spyii rnam-par geag-pa) Collected Works (gSun-'bum), vol. 21 (za), pt. 1, fol.55 b 3-6. Preliminary Remark: The following passage is made known here for the first time. It was sought out by Geshe Pema Tsering, Bonn, whose constant co-operation in searching for relevant source material and verifying references is worthy of special mention in this context. In the Vinaya ..., the number of granthas (of which has been) stated to be 100,000, there are (the following): in the Agama- [i.e. Vinaya-] vibhanga, 25,000 slokas (and) 83 bam-pos; in the (Vinaya)vastu, 32,700 slokas; in the (Vinaya)ksudraka(vastu), reportedly 59 bam-pos and accordingly 18,700 slokas; in the (Vinaya-)uttamagrantha 60), 53 bam-pos (and) 15,900 slokas; (and in) the Bhiksuni(vinaya)vibhanga, when duly counted, even though (this) does not seem to be a vibhanga of the present [i.e. Mulasarvastivada] sect, 28 bam-pos (and) 8,400 slokas 61). All summed up, there are 99,700 slokas, missing 100,000 by 300 slokas 62). Though indeed some claim that the number of slokas in) the Vinayapitaka (is) 125,000, in the Agama it has been stated to be 100,000. By the master dGe-legs bsesgnen too it has been stated to be 100,000. 59) Skr. drona (11.648 kg), pala (45.5 g), karsa (11.375g). 6) Tib.

See his Collected Works (gSun-'bum), vol. 17 (tsa), pt. 11, fol. 10 b 5-6: dge-slon-ma-rams bam-po-ner-brgyad-pa // thams-cad-yod-smra'i 'dul-ba ma yin mod // sde-pa gzan-gyi lur-las 'chugs zes-pa // Bu-ston chen-po'i mam-dpyod rtsal-gyis bton // "The Bhiksuni(vinayavibhanga) has 28 bam-pos; it is not indeed (found in) the Vinaya of the (Mula)sarvastivadins (but has been taken over) from the Agama of another sect by mistake. The said (fact) was brought to light by the investigative skill of the great Bu-ston." 62) There is a mistake in transmission here; the numbers given in the text as it stands add up to 100,700.
