a basket; a container; one of the three main division of Pāli Canon
Piṭaka [cf. Epic Sanskrit piṭaka, etymology not clear. See also Pāli peḷā and peḷikā] 1. basket Vin I 225 (ghaṭa p. ucchaṅga), 240 (catudoṇika p.); Pv IV 3 33 ; Vism 28 (piṭake nikkhitta-loṇa-maccha-phāla-sadisaṃ phaṇaṃ); dhañña° a grain-basket Dhp-a III 370; vīhi° a rice basket Dhp-a III 374. Usually in combination kuddāḷa-piṭaka "hoe and basket," wherever the act of digging is referred to, e.g. Vin III 47; D I 101; M I 127; S II 88; V 53; A I 204; II 199; Ja I 225, 336; Sv I 269. 2. (figurative) technical term for the 3 main divisions of the Pāli Canon "the three baskets (basket as container of tradition Winternitz, Gesch. d. Ind. Litt. II 8; cf. peḷā 2) of oral tradition," viz. Vinaya°, Suttanta°, Abhidhamma°; thus mentioned by name at Pv-a 2; referred to as "tayo piṭakā" at Ja I 118; Vism 96 (pañca-nikāya-maṇḍale tīṇi piṭakāni parivatteti), 384 (tiṇṇaṃ Vedānaṃ uggahaṇaṃ, tiṇṇaṃ Piṭakānaṃ uggahaṇaṃ); Pj II 110, 403; Dhp-a III 262; IV 38; cf. Divy 18, 253, 488. With reference to the Vinaya mentioned at Vin V 3. — Piṭaka is a later collective appellation of the scriptures; the first division of the canon (based on oral tradition entirely) being into Sutta and Vinaya (i.e. the stock paragraphs learnt by heart, and the rules of the Order). Thus described at D II 124; cf. the expression bhikkhu suttantika vinayadhara Vin II 75 (earlier than tepiṭaka or piṭakadhara). Independently of this division we find the designation "Dhamma" applied to the doctrinal portions; and out of this developed the 3rd Piṭaka, the Abhidhamma-p. See also Dhamma C 1. — The Canon as we have it comes very near in language and contents to the canon as established at the 3rd Council in the time of King Asoka. The latter was in Māgadhī. — The knowledge of the 3 Piṭakas as an accomplishment of the bhikkhu is stated in the term tepīṭaka "one who is familiar with the 3 p." (thus at Miln 18; Dāṭh V 22; Pj I 41 with v.l. ti°; Pj II 306 the same; Dhp-a III 385). tipetakī (Vin V 3 Khemanāma t.), tipeṭaka (Miln 90), and tipiṭaka-dhara Pj I 91. See also below °ttaya. In BHS we find the term trepiṭaka in early inscriptions (1st century A.D., see e.g. Vogel, Epigraphical discoveries at Sārnāth, Epigraphia Indica VIII page 173, 196; Bloch, Ja As. Soc. Bengal 1898, 274, 280); the term tripiṭaka in literary documents (e.g. Divy 54), as also tripiṭa (e.g. Avś I 334; Divy 261, 505). — On the Piṭakas in general and the origin of the Pāli Canon see Oldenberg, in editor of Vin I ; and Winternitz, Gesch. d. Ind. Litt. 1913, II 1 f.; III 606, 635. — Cf. peṭaka. -ttaya the triad of the Piṭakas or holy scriptures Pj II 328; -dhara one who knows (either one or two or all three) the Piṭaka by heart, as eka°, dvi°, ti° at Vism 62, 99; -sampadāya according to the Pāli tradition or on the ground of the authority of the Pāli M I 520 (itihītiha etc.); II 169 (the same); and in exegesis of itikirā (hearsay-tradition) at A I 189 = II 191 = Nidd II §151.
