And King Sāka was one of the kings of Gandhāra in the northern regions. Making him the chief, the Vajjī monks of different views compiled this Dhamma-Vinaya called Mahāsaṅghīka. And that compilation of Dhamma-Vinaya prevails in the northern regions. But the compilation by Thera Yasa in Vesālī is in the southern regions. Four ages are designated in the world: Satya-yuga, Dvāpara-yuga, Tretā-yuga, and Kali-yuga. And "yuga" (age) refers to the measure of life. But now the Kaliyuga prevails. Therefore it is said "Sāka means Kaliyuga." The meaning is "age of evil." "La Tī" is a forest that got its name in the manner of Myanmar usage, being a place for clearing rice fields.
