 This account is bolstered by the vinaya texts themselves, as vinayas associated with the Sthaviras do contain more rules than those of the Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya.For example, the Mahāsāṃghika Prātimokṣa has 67 rules in the "śaikṣa-dharma" section, while the Theravāda version has 75 rules.Modern scholarship is generally in agreement that the Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya is the oldest.
