Itivuttaka

Itivuttaka

The Itivuttaka (Pali for "as it was said") is a Buddhist scripture, part of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. It is included there in the Sutta Pitaka's Khuddaka Nikaya. It comprises 112 short teachings ascribed in the text to the Buddha, each consisting of a prose portion followed by a verse portion. The latter may be a paraphrase of the former, or complementary. Some scholars [Nakamura, "Indian Buddhism", Japan, 1990; reprinted Motilal Banarsidass, Delhi] consider it one of the earliest of all Buddhist scriptures, while others consider it somewhat later.
