v1.c8.41
In the scholiast of the *Kummāsapiṇḍa Jātaka*,³ the Itivuttaka is mentioned in the plural (*Itivuttakesu*) and a sutta is quoted from it, extolling the virtues of generosity. Perhaps, the *Itivuttaka* was compiled as a result of a critical study of the authentic teachings of the Buddha, considered in a certain light and made for a specific purpose.
