Local Buddhist Monastic Agreements among the (M?la)sarv?stiv?dins
Abstract
Recently, there have been an increasing number of studies on the Buddhist monastic community as a whole and on individual Buddhist monks and nuns in Vinaya literature. However, we do not know much about how a local Buddhist monastic community was administered. In order to consider just an aspect of the administration in a local monastic community, I will in this paper investigate descriptions of agreements (Skt kriy?k?ra-) that local monastic communities or local Buddhist monks conclude in Vinaya texts belonging to the (M?la)sarv?stiv?dins.

The counterpart to the landlord is the owner of the vihāra, the Vihārasvāmin, whose name is supposed to be on the vihāra's seal, not that of the Samghasthavira or any monk.
“The counterpart to the landlord would be the owner of the vih ā ra , not infrequently referred to in this Vinaya as the Vih ā rasv ā min, and recall that it is supposed to be his name on the vih ā ra ' s seal, and not that of the Sam ̣ ghasthavira or any monk. 32”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
