Abstract

This is part of a study on the Pāli Vibhaṅga-mūlaṭīkā, a direct commentary on Buddhaghosa’s Sammohavinodanī, which is in turn the commentary on the Abhidhamma Vibhāṅga. The present paper addresses a specific chapter of this text, the Dhātuvibhaṅga, which discusses some lists of elements (dhātu), rearranging and interpreting textual contents from the Suttapiṭaka and the Abhidhammapiṭaka.
