第一次結集經藏
大迦葉語阿難：從轉法輪經至大般涅槃，集作四阿含：增一阿含，中阿含，長阿含，相應阿含。是名修妒路法藏。諸阿羅漢更問誰能明了集毗尼法藏，皆言長老憂波利，於五百阿羅漢中持律第一，我等今請。

The First Dharma Council
Mahākāśyapa said to Ānanda, ''From The Turning the Dharma Wheel Scripture up to The Great Parinirvāņa, we have collected and compiled The Four Āgamas: The Item-Added Āgama, The Middle- Length Āgama, The Long Āgama, and The Connected Āgama. These constitute the treasury of Sutra Dharma."
The Arhats also asked, "Who is able to clearly understand and collect the treasury of the Vinaya Dharma?"
They all agreed, "Among the five hundred Arhats, the Venerable Upāli is the foremost in upholding the precepts. Let us now request his assistance."
