Vibhaṅgappakaraṇa


One of the seven books of the Abhidhamma Piá¹­aka; it is generally placed second in the list (e.g., Mil. 12). It deals in a general way with the different categories and formulas given in the Dhammasaá¹…gaṇī, though different methods of treatment are used. The book is divided into eighteen chapters, each of which is called a Vibhaá¹…ga. Each chapter has three portions: SuttantabhÄjaniya, AbhidhammabhÄjaniya and PaññÄpucchaka or list of questions. The Commentary to the Vibhaá¹…ga is called Sammohavinodaṇī.
