Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of the Discipline (Vinaya-Pitaka), Vol. 3: Suttavibhanga Upali will have had good opportunity to study the rules as they came into being and grew into a body; but that, in the second, had this body not attained an appreciable size, it could not have formed a worthy subject for any disciple's study and mastery. Therefore the desire of the monks in Pac. LXXII to learn discipline under Upali (because the lord, as they are recorded to say, in praising discipline praises Upali again and again), may be ascribed to some indefinite time subsequent to the establishment of this monk's reputation as the most eminent exponent of this branch of study.
