The commentary, Paramattha-dīpanī, explores moral and doctrinal themes, emphasizing the connection between virtuous actions and their karmic results. It can be divided into two parts: Women’s Vimānas (Itthivimāna) with Divan Chapter (Pāṭhavagga), Cittalatā Chapter (Cittalatāvagga), Pāricchattaka Chapter (Pāricchattakavagga) and Crimson Chapter (Mañjeṭṭhakavagga) and Men’s Vimānas (Purisavimāna) with Great Chariot Chapter (Mahārathavagga), Pāyāsi Chapter (Pāyāsivagga) and Nicely Laid Down Chapter (Sunikhittavagga).
