R. Norman

One of the results of xKrriting a book on the

lines

of PaiiLiteraturei

isthat

it

necds to be revised and augmented from the very day

it

is

pttblishedin the lightof new _{publications,}new discovcries,or the

rea]isation of erroneous statements. I have _therefore _written _this _article

teR _years after the _publicatioRof Pdli Literature,to serve as the first

appendix to it.I restrict mysclf to Paliworks, and leavethe task of

updating and correcting the non-PAIi material to others. I have

_givcn

informationabout romanised editions and English translations of Pali

works which havc become

known

{o me, and also about some of thc

more important secondary literaturein

English.

These _works _are _for_the

most _part ncw,

but

there are a number of works which I overlookcd

although they have

_been

_in

existence forsome time. I have also dealt

vLrith somc of my statements which need augmenting or correcting,

includingsome errors _pointedout by revi ¢wers, and also some _printing

errors

(but

not the omission of

diacritical

marks),

I

have corrected

optimism of colleagues or

I also _give information about

some ef the work in hand,

for

the information of readers, without

guaranteeingthat these works will ever appear in _pnnt.

I cannot claim that these additions are complete, and

published

in

in

statement that

in

Burma the extra fourtexts are recognized as

canonical. He said: "No educated Burmese ever includedthese

four

works among the _pitaka

of the Khuddakanikaya. They are

placed

after the books of the Khuddaka-nikaya only

of their

QUASI-CANONICAL

TEXTS

There are several texts,of unknown dateand

_provenance,

forvvhich the

terms "allegedly

non-canonical",49] "deutcro-canonical",

C`quasi-canonical", "pseudo-canonical",

and "apocryphai" have been _coined. By tit}ethey are suttas; they have the standard canonical opening evaqi

me sutarp ekar?i samayai?z ..._; the narrative attributes their contents to

the Buddha; they meet the requirements of the

four

mahcipadesas of the

Mahaparinibbana-sutta,4Y2

in as much as they contain nothing which is

not

in

conformity with the Theravtidin version of the Buddha's

teaching,

_but

they are not included in any editien ef the

Pali

canon.

Examples ef such literature,hovLrever,_were _apparcntly

known

_to _and

accepted as authoritative by Buddhaghosa,

In

the

_Atthasalini,

for

examplc, he makes a _point by referring to "a

s"tta which was not

composed at a council".493

This class of Theravadin literature_has _been _unduly _neglected _by

scholars, but cditions of a few such texts have appeared. Names of

(18)

18 ?xO- TJ{geV,thJSCtkt-T'･

show thattexts are very often transmitted as individualsuttas, .not as

nikayas, and while

it

would have been difficultto

insert

a new sutta into

a nikaya, itwas easy to add another sutta to the collection.

The Tundilovadasutta`9S

(abbreviation

Tupd-s)

("The

Sutta of the

Advice te Turpdila")is a short

Pali

text in both prose and verse.

Its

contents are not markedly

different

from other discourses

in

the Pali

canon, and

it

contains nothing which can be _pronounced unorthodox.496

On

the contrary, the

Tupdilovadasutta

providesa concise

illustration

of

the logicand structure of traditionalTheravada

Buddhist

practice.

Itis

often written in _poor Pali,but

it

is

not without literarymerit. It

in-cludes many similes,

including

the simile of the city of nibbana. There is

no evidence currently available which would indicate that the

Tundilovadasuttawas

known

outside SriLanka. It dates_perhaps

from

the Kandyan _period.497

The

simile of the city of nibbdna is the main theme of the

Nibbanasutta498

(abbreviation

Nibb-s), which isanother allegedly

non-canonical

Pali

sutta. Itisvery short, and in

_prose

except fortwo verses

at the end, _quoted

from

the Theragatha,499but here ascribed to the

Buddha rather than to AbhibhUta, and a thirdverse describingnibbdna,

which closely resembles a verse at the end of the Tupdilovadasutta.

The

titleat the end of the textisNibbanasuttavaprpana,which suggests that

itisa commentary upon a sutta rather than an actual sutta, Itwas

pos-sibly composed

in

Thailand

or Cambodia, but there

is

no evidence as to

the

date

of

its

composition.5ee

The

Akaravattarasutta50i

(abbreviation

Akar-s)

(perhaps

"The

sermon

which expounds the manner

[of

averting rebirth in hells]")

is

in

prose

and verse. It has the standard canonical opening and _purports to

(19)

PaliI.itere!prc:AppendixI 19

Sariputta_reflecting on the factthat householderswho do wrong will be

reborn inthe Avici

_hell,

_andthose who offend against the scven Vinaya

offences will be reborn inthe seven _greathe]ls,Hc _asks _the _Buddha _to

preach the dhamma which will save hearers from _the _evil _statcs _of

rebirth. In reply to

his

request the Buddha states that the

Akaravattarasutta

is

capablc of

doing

this,and

he

_goes on to describe

the contents _ofthe sutta. E[e_quotes the wel}-known formula in

_praise

of

the Buddha

found

inthe canon which

begins

with the words iti_pi so

bhagava

araha sammdisambuddho. There

fol]ow

_scventeen _sections

(vaggas)

each beginning with the words iti_pi so bhagavd. In _the _first

vagga _the _ten _epithets _of _thc _canonica} formula _are

given,

each

preceded by the_words iti_pi so bhagaM. The second and subsequent

vaggas repeat the compound word _{pdramtUsanrpanno,}_each _time

_giving

the name of the _particular_paramt',_again _preceded _by _the _words _iti

pi so

bhavaga. One vagga

_gives

the standard Theravada Iist_of _ten _pa'rami-s,

but thc other vaggas consist of new listsof _pdramls,

invented

_by

designatingimportant events in a Bodhisatta'sIifc as _pMamis, e.g.

abhinthdira

Cthe

_resoave _to _become _a _Buddha) _._This _list_is_augmented _by

extending the idea_of _paTramiJs to include such concepts as ria4a,

bodhipakkhiya,

caripa, etc., each _preceded by _thc _words _iti_pi _so

bhagavA,

These "'ords are therefore repeated 174 times

in

thc stttta, and

parami-sampanno 164times.502

The name Akaravattarasutta

is

_repeatcd _a _number _of _times _iia_the

text,with and without the word sutta, but towards the end it

is

callcd

AkaravattarasuttavarprpnnA,

which suggests that the tcxt isa mixture ol'

stttta and commentary. Itconcludes with a statement that the sutta was

rccited by thc BlessedOne

in

the Saipyutta-nikaya,which is manifestly

incorrect,but _perhaps_{refers not}to the sutta as a whole but to a single

verse init.The _language_and _the _subject _mattcr _of _the _sutta

suggest that

(20)

Akaravattarasutta

differs

from other quasi-canonical texts

Theravada tradition.

Nowhere

'

It

is

probable that a more accurate estimate of the significance of such

quasi-canonicaltexts isto be _gained by carefully considering their role

as

instructional

aids and vehicles forthe transmission of the Theravada

tradition.Ifthis

is

done,

itcan be seen that the _production of such

suttas in the Theravada isnot entirely analogous to the creation of the

Mahhyana satras.504
