878. Idāni sāsanakathā nāma hoti. Tattha tisso saṅgītiyo sandhāya ‘‘sāsanaṃ navaṃ kata’’nti ca ‘‘atthi koci tathāgatassa sāsanaṃ navaṃ karotī’’ti ca ‘‘labbhā tathāgatassa sāsanaṃ navaṃ kātu’’nti ca yesaṃ laddhi, seyyathāpi ekaccānaṃ uttarāpathakānaṃ; te sandhāya tīsupi kathāsu pucchā sakavādissa, paṭiññā itarassa. Satipaṭṭhānātiādi sāsanaṃ nāma satipaṭṭhānādayo ceva ariyadhammā, kusalādīnañca desanā. Tattha yesaṃ bhagavatā desitā satipaṭṭhānādayo, ṭhapetvā te aññesaṃ vā satipaṭṭhānādīnaṃ karaṇena akusalādīnaṃ vā kusalādibhāvakaraṇena sāsanaṃ navaṃkataṃ nāma bhaveyya, kiṃ taṃ evaṃ kataṃ kenaci, atthi vā koci evaṃ karoti, labbhā vā evaṃ kātunti tīsupi pucchāsu codanatthaṃ vuttaṃ. Sesaṃ sabbattha yathāpāḷimeva niyyātīti.
