Parivāra
The Parivāra, “the Compendium”, is a technical analysis of the content of the Suttavibhaṅga and the Khandhakas. It summarizes and distils the essence of the Vinaya, leaving out all narratives and stories. The Parivāra is unique to the Theravada school and it is probable that it was compiled in the sectarian period. Its manner of analysis shares certain characteristics with the Abhidhamma, such as expanding and filling in schemes of classification not given in full detail in the other canonical texts.
