Chapter 1. Pathama-bhanavaram . . . 301
» 2. . . . . . . . . . . . 307 On this it may be observed
1. The last Bhânavara in each Khandhaka is not referred to either by name or by number, except in Mahâvagga II, and in Kullavagga VII and X. In the Mahâvagga fourteen of the Bhânavâras have special titles, independent of their number in the particular Khandhaka.
2. Probably two Bhânavâras in Mahâvagga V, all the Bhânavaras in Kullavagga I-IV, and the first in Kullavagga V, are not noticed in the printed text.
3. Making allowance for these we have in the Mahâvagga 31 (732) Bhânavaras, occupying about 350 pages of Páli text, and about 610 pages in our translation. In books V-XII of the Kullavagga we have 20 Bhânavaras, occupying about 200 pages of Pali text, and about 350 pages in our translation. Total 51 (252) Bhânavaras, occupying about 550 pages of Pâli, and about 960 pages of translation.
4. As in the printed text repetitions have been avoided by a mode of reference to former passages which was impossible in the MSS., the average length of the matter contained in a Bhânavâra, as written much more in full in the MSS., would be somewhat greater than its average length as actually printed. It would probably amount to what, if printed verbatim, would occupy in space not much less than a sheet of the size and type used in the edition of the text. Thus the three Bhâna vâras in Mahavagga VIII, which owing to the subject matter are printed with only a few such contractions, occupy respectively 14, 13, and 16 pages of the text.
Sic. This is the only instance in the Vinaya of a masculine use of the word. [20]
