Description: This text, one of the oldest Canonical books of Buddism, is for the first time edited in Devanagari characters. ‘The Sutta-Nipata’ is an anthology and contains, among others, a large number of verses from the different Nikayas. It gives us a glimpse into the state of the Indian society some 2500 years ago. It tells about religious sects such as the Samanas or the Brahmanas. Another chief feature of this edition is in its attempt to supply the parallel passages of the Gathas.
