[ SUTTAS 602
(i) exposition of sutta (suttanugama); and
(ii) exposition of the related topics (nijjuttianugama). 602. Then what is the exposition of the related topics ? The exposition of the related topics is stated to be threefold, viz.
(a) exposition of the related topics through nikkheva; (b) exposition of the related topics through introduction
(uvaghāta); (c) exposition of the related topics, touching the sutta
(suttaphāsiya). 603. Then what is the exposition of the related topics through nikkheva ? (Answer): It has already been stated (previously by way of explaining the words avassaga, sāmāia, etc. through the nikkhevas of nāma, thavana, etc.).
This is the exposition of the related topics through nikkheva.
604. Then what is the exposition of the related topics through introduction ? The exposition of the related topics through introduction is to be known from these two (basic) verses (the topic, here sāmăia, being explained with reference to the items mentioned therein). For instance, (1) uddesa (general title, e. g. ajjhayana which is the name
of a general treatise. This is the same as the oghanipphanna nikkheva. Cf. Brhadurtti on
Višeşātaśyakabhāşya, 975); and (2) niddesa (name of a particular chapter, e. g. Samaia
which is the name of the first chapter of the Avassaga sutta. This is the same as the
nāmanipphanna nikkheva); and (3) niggama (the ultimate source, e. g. Lord Mahavira is
an original promulgator of sämäia); (4) khetia (place of origin, e. g. Mahasenavanujjāņa was the
place of the origin of sămaia- Avaśyaka
Niryukti, 734); (5) kala (time of origin e. g. the eleventh day of the
bright half of Vaisaha, when Lord Mahavira attained omniscience, was the date of the
origin of sämāia, AN, 734); (6) purisa (human source, e. g. Lord Mahavira is the
source of samaia); and (7) kārana (tha reason of learning, e. g. Goya ma and
others learnt samaia from Lord Mahavira for the acquisition of knowledge, AN. 745);
