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 Dípa, probably of Ceylon.

The Commentaries (E.g., DA.i.17; Sp.i.18), however, speak of the Solasa Parivára as having formed part of the Vinaya when it was rehearsed at the First Council. Perhaps the Pariváras correspond to the mátiká of the Abhidhamma and were enlarged later on.
