Thanks Jim,
I guess that supports your view as to the corruption of anaprāśraya, as the Vism is around 500 A. D. and the Paṭsambhidamagga is also quite late, at least a few hundred years after the Dhp,
Best, Bryan

Hi Bryan,
<< Does anyone know if breath counting or "resting on the breath"
features in the Pāli scriptures? >>
The breath counting method can be found at Vism VIII.190-5 (HOS chap.
and sect. nos.). The Pa.tisambhidamagga (Path of Discrimination) also
has a good section on mindfulness of breathing but I don't believe it
gives the counting method.
Jim
