The verses in this chapter are dispersed in the Patna and Udānavarga collections.
We might have expected more than one of the verses from the Pāḷi Buddhavagga to
be paralleled in the Udānavarga Tathāgatavarga, but such is not the case.
The fact that all but one verse is not found in Gāndhārī would seem to suggest that
that is one of the missing chapters from that collection.
The absence of parallels to the last two verses is striking here; they also find no
parallel in the Canon.
