General remarks on work: In Piṭakat‘ Thamaiṅ‘ ("Chronicle of the Piṭaka") there are 3 versions of the 3 vaggas (of the Dīgha Nikaya of the Sutta Piṭaka): the Pāli texts; the aṭṭhakathā; and the ṭīkā. The aṭṭhakathā was by Buddhaghosa and the ṭīkā was by Dhammapāla of Ceylon. This work (as well as other manuscripts entitled Suk‘ Sīlakkhan‘, Suk‘ Mahāvā and Suk‘ Pāttheyya) belongs to the ṭīkā type, translated from the Burmese originals.
Subject: sutta Subject comments: The first division of Dīgha Nikāya of Sutta Piṭaka. The Dīgha Nikāya contains 34 suttas under 3 vaggas: Sīlakkhandha Vagga, Mahā Vagga and Pāṭika Vagga. The Burmese call these, respectively, Suk‘ Sīlakkhan‘, Suk‘ Mahāvā and Suk‘ Pāttheyya.
