The third nonad is concluded.

The Accumulation Chapter is third.

Its summary:

Not concealed, one day, two days, three days, four days, and;

Five days, a fortnight, ten days - the offence, said the great sage.

The pure end and the disrobing one, two monks with a limited basis;

There two with perception, just as, and doubtful ones likewise.

And two with mixed view, and those with impure single view;

And two indeed with pure view.

Likewise one conceals, and then by contempt and;

And confession by a madman, from the root eighteen by purification.

Of the teachers who analyse the terms, who brought confidence to the island of Tambapaṇṇi;

Of the dwellers of the Mahāvihāra, the recitation for the stability of the Good Teaching.

The Accumulation Chapter is concluded.
