**Aggañña Sutta.**—Twenty-seventh of the Dīgha Nikāya.¹ It is a kind of Buddhist book of Genesis, dealing, among other things, with the evolution of the world, of man and of society. The pretensions of the brahmins to be the legitimate heirs of Brahmā are examined and rejected; righteousness is declared to be above lineage.² It was preached to Vāseṭṭha and Bhāradvāja at the Pubbārāma.
