Samathādhikaraṇavāra

Vinayapiṭaka · Parivāra · Vol. 8 · Section 909

[909] How might it be that legal issues (adhikaraṇa) are settled by legal issues? How might it be that legal issues are not settled by legal issues? A legal issue arising from dispute (vivādādhikaraṇa) is not settled by a legal issue arising from dispute; it is not settled by a legal issue arising from accusation (anuvādādhikaraṇa); it is not settled by a legal issue arising from an offense (āpattādhikaraṇa); it is settled by a legal issue arising from business (kiccādhikaraṇa). A legal issue arising from accusation is not settled by a legal issue arising from dispute; it is not settled by a legal issue arising from accusation; it is not settled by a legal issue arising from an offense; it is settled by a legal issue arising from business. A legal issue arising from an offense is not settled by a legal issue arising from dispute; it is not settled by a legal issue arising from accusation; it is not settled by a legal issue arising from an offense; it is settled by a legal issue arising from business. A legal issue arising from business is not settled by a legal issue arising from dispute; it is not settled by a legal issue arising from accusation; it is not settled by a legal issue arising from an offense; it is settled by a legal issue arising from business. Thus it may be that legal issues are settled by legal issues; thus it may be that legal issues are not settled by legal issues.
