The Heian edition of the Sound and Meaning of the Four-Part Vinaya, preserved in the Shoryōbu (Imperial Household Agency), is currently the oldest known manuscript. By comparing this edition and the Daiji edition—both representing the manuscript tradition—with the Pilu Canon, Qisha Canon, the Zhuangxin edition (Southern style), the Goryeo Canon, and the Jin Canon (Northern style), we find numerous differences among them in terms of character selection, arrangement, classification, phonetic glosses, and semantic interpretations. These variants reveal that the Southern version, as a sound-meaning commentary, contains more detailed content than the Northern version. The basic textual affiliations of the Heian and Daiji editions should be traced to the Northern lineage. Moreover, compared with the Northern version, the Heian text exhibits a more prominent phenomenon of variant forms of function words, pronouns, and exegetical terms.
