The concluding part of the Vinaya Pitaka.
It is a digest of the other parts of the Vinaya and consists of nineteen chapters. The colophon states that the book was the work of a monk named Dīpa, probably of Ceylon.
The Commentaries (E.g., DA.i.17; Sp.i.18), however, speak of the Solasa Parivāra as having formed part of the Vinaya when it was rehearsed at the First Council. Perhaps the Parivāras correspond to the mātikā of the Abhidhamma and were enlarged later on.
