“How many were laid down at Vesālī? How many were pronounced at Rājagaha? How many were there at Sāvatthī? How many were pronounced at Āḷavī?

How many were laid down at Kosambī? How many were spoken in the Sakyan country? How many were laid down among the Bhaggas? Please tell me, the one who has asked.”

“Ten were laid down at Vesālī, Twenty-one pronounced at Rājagaha; And two hundred and ninety-four, Pronounced at Sāvatthī.

Six were laid down at Āḷavī, Eight pronounced at Kosambī; Eight spoken in the Sakyan country, And three laid down among the Bhaggas.

Those laid down in Vesālī, Listen to them as they truly are: Sexual intercourse, person, super, And extra, black.

True, a meal before another, With tooth cleaner, naked ascetic; And abuse from the nuns—These ten were pronounced at Vesālī.

Those laid down at Rājagaha, Listen to them as they truly are: Stealing at Rājagaha, Two on charging, and also two on schism.
