Summary: The Mahāvagga is one of the Vinaya Khandhaka source units. In the local corpus it is currently available as a raw BJT Pali/Sinhala source reader, preserving the native tipitaka.lk page-entry segmentation rather than a fully edited wiki presentation of procedures, origin narratives, or communal legal forms.
Overview
The Mahāvagga belongs to the Khandhaka portion of the Vinaya, the material concerned with monastic procedures and institutional frameworks. It should be handled differently from a simple narrative text or a rule list: its passages may combine narrative settings, procedural prescriptions, legal formulas, and later cross-referable disciplinary context.
This page is an overview page only. The raw BJT Pali source and Sinhala translation have been ingested and reviewed, but a full text-page presentation with chapter-level headings, procedural summaries, legal formulas, cross-references, and supporting pages is deferred.
Source reader
The current raw reader uses BJT page-entry identifiers such as vp-mv:1.1. The BJT Pali and Sinhala native entry counts do not align perfectly in this extract, so the parallel reader uses a union of segment identifiers and displays explicit missing-edition placeholders where one side has no matching row.
Structure
At this overview stage the local wiki treats Mahāvagga as a single Vinaya source unit under the Khandhaka. The page does not attempt to normalize chapter boundaries, summarize procedure-level rules, or identify legal-formula scopes beyond the reviewed raw-source boundary.
Later batches should split this overview into reviewed chapter-level or procedure-level pages only after the source divisions, headings, formulas, and citation conventions have been verified against the raw source.
Textual status
This page is backed by the reviewed raw-only Tipitaka.lk Stage 1 ingest for Mahāvagga. The batch extracted 2799 BJT Pali rows and 2789 BJT Sinhala rows from pathnirvana/tipitaka.lk; the row-count mismatch is recorded as a source fact, not as a defect or as a claim that the reader is a normalized bilingual edition. Sinhala republication status remains pending verification, so the Sinhala text is exposed locally through the reader but is not treated here as a public republication-ready translation.
