Aṭṭhaka-Vagga.—The fourth division of the Sutta Nipāta. It consists of sixteen suttas, all of which are explained in the Mahā Niddesa. It may also have been the name of divisions of other books, because we are told that once Soṇa Thera intoned before the Buddha all the verses of the Books of the Eights (Aṭṭhaka-vaggikāni).¹
