Saṅgīti Sutta.—The thirty-third sutta of the Dīgha Nikāya,¹ preached at Ubbaṭaka, the new Mote-Hall of the Mallas of Pāvā. They had invited the Buddha to consecrate it by preaching there, and this he did until late into the night. Then, seeing that his audience wished for more, he asked Sāriputta to continue the preaching while he himself rested. Sāriputta therefore preached the Saṅgīti Sutta, at the end of which the Buddha expressed his great appreciation of Sāriputta’s exposition. This sutta, like the Dasuttara, is arranged in a new plan—which is regularly followed in the Aṅguttara Nikāya—of grouping the points or chief items brought forward, numerically, in arithmetical progression—in this case 1 to 10. This scheme is a kind of thematic index to the doctrines scattered through the Four Nikāyas.
