Summary: The Pārājika is the opening division of the Vinaya's Suttavibhaṅga and records the gravest class of monastic offences, called "defeats" because a deliberate full offence entails loss of bhikkhu status. 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 rule-by-rule rendering.
Overview
The Pārājika section belongs to the Bhikkhuvibhaṅga, the analysis of the monks' training rules. It begins with narrative and legal framing, then presents the four defeat rules and their explanatory material. The section is foundational for Vinaya study because it defines the most serious boundary cases for monastic discipline.
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 rule-by-rule headings, legal summaries, cross-references, and supporting pages is deferred.
Source reader
The current raw reader uses BJT page-entry identifiers such as vp-prj:2.1. The BJT Pali and Sinhala native entry counts do not align perfectly in this pilot 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 the Pārājika as a single Vinaya source unit. The raw source includes the opening Verañjakaṇḍa narrative and the four defeat-rule complexes of the Bhikkhuvibhaṅga:
- Sexual intercourse
- Theft
- Killing a human being
- False claims to superhuman attainment
Later batches should split this overview into reviewed rule-level pages or anchors only after the rule headings, case boundaries, and citation conventions have been normalized against the raw source.
Textual status
This page is backed by the reviewed raw-only Tipitaka.lk pilot for Pārājika. The pilot extracted 2616 BJT Pali rows and 2612 BJT Sinhala rows from pathnirvana/tipitaka.lk; the independent raw-pilot review found no extraction defects and explicitly accepted the four-row Pali/Sinhala mismatch as a source-alignment fact. 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.
