Dear Sis Dīpā
The PTS Vinaya texts and translations are a bit tricky. But hopefully the
following note from the Dharmafarer website (http://dharmafarer.org) will
help. However, at the moment the server, we are informed, is down due to
power outage. So please keep on trying.
The website also 40 volumes of annotated Sutta translations and growing.
With metta,
Piya Tan
*A. VINAYA PI**é**AKA (V or Vin), “The Basket of Discipline”*
Pali edition. “The Vinaya Piakaµ”, ed. Hermann Oldenberg,
London: Luzac for PTS, 1879-83, in 5 volumes. Accessible freely at
http://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/index.htm.
Tr T W Rhys Davids & Herman Oldenberg: *Vinaya Texts* (V:RO),
partial tr. SBE vol 13 (1 Pā imokkha & Mv), 1881; vol 17 (2 Mv 5-10; Cv
1-3), ; vol 20 (3 Cv 4-12), 1885. Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1881-1885.
Repr Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 1965, 1982, 1984.
Tr I B Horner: *The Book of the Discipline* (V:H), London: PTS,
1938-66, 6 vols:
1. *the Sutta Vibha**º**ga*, monastic code (Pimokkha) for monks and for
nuns, contained in the Sutta,vibhaºga, together with a commentary on that;
2. *the Khandhaka*, dealing with the regulation of communal life, which
is contained in the Mah,vagga (Mv or V:mv) and Cula,vagga (Cv or V:cv).
The Mahvagga also contains some material on the life of the Buddha, etc;
3. *the Pariv****ra*, which is an abstract of the whole of the
Vinaya Piaka, in dialogue form.
References are to volume and page number, eg Vin III 59 or V 3:59.
Note that:
— Vin I and II (Mah,vagga and Cula,vagga) are translated as The Book of
the Discipline vols IV and V.
–– Vin III, IV (Sutta,vibhaºga) are translated as The Book of the
Discipline vols I, II and III.
Also note that the translation, when it gives the Pali page
number in the midst of the translation, gives it at the end of that page:
eg [1] means p.1 *ends* here. In all other translations, however, it
indicates where a page of the original *starts*.
[*Study sample*: V 1:20 = V:H 4:28 f.]
