By way of recitation sections, it has one hundred recitation sections. Among its divisions, the Sagāthāvagga is the first; among discourses, the Oghataraṇasutta. Of that too, the origin story beginning with ‘Thus have I heard’ spoken by the venerable Ānanda at the time of the First Great Council is the beginning. Now this First Great Council has been detailed at the beginning of the Sumaṅgalavilāsinī, the commentary on the Dīghanikāya; therefore it should be understood according to the manner detailed there.
