The following elements are integral parts of "parallels" (i.e. of "close" parallels): davy'-aṭṭhayae plus ogh'-ādesenam/vihan'-ādesenan (55). bhav -ādesenan, kal'-ādesenan (53). davv-atthayãe, paes'-atthayãe, davy'-attha-naes'-stthayse ($56; here Bhagavati has borrowed from Prajñāpanā). ogāhan'-aṭṭhayae, paes'-aṭṭhayãe, ogahana-paes'-aṭṭhayae ($60). Each occurrence of such a set constitutes a parallel in the sense of "close" parallel. It must be admitted that the number of close parallels (most of them contain such sets) is considerable and even greater than the number of "canonical nikṣepas".
