v2.c35.s3.t4.11

The agreement between the *Saṃyukta-Āgama* and *Saṃyutta Nikāya* is similar to that of the *Madhyamāgama* and *Majjhima Nikāya*. The *Sagāthavagga* (Sec. I) of the two piṭakas has much in common but not the *Nidānavagga* (Sec. II); the 8th and 9th chapters of *Nidāna*, viz., *Samaṇa-brāhmaṇa* and *Antarapeyyāla* are wanting in the Āgama, while the 1st and 5th chapters (*Buddha* and *Gahapati*) show marked differences. In the same section, *Abhisamaya*, *Dhātu* and other saṃyuttas are almost passed over in the Āgama, but there is much commonness in the following five Saṃyuttas: *Anamatagga*, *Kassapa*, *Lakkhana*, *Opamma* and *Bhikkhu*. In the *Khandha-vagga* (Section III) of the Āgama, the following saṃyuttas are wanting: *Okkan-tika*, *Uppāda*, *Kilesa*, *Sāriputta*, *Nāga*, *Gandhabbakāya*, *Valāha*, *Vacchagotta* and *Jhāna*. In the *Salāyatana-vagga* (Section IV), the following are absent: *Mātugāma*, *Moggallāna*, *Asaṅkhata*, *Sammappadhāna*, *Bāla* and *Iddhipāda*, while major portions of the *Magga*, *Indriya* and *Sacca* omitted.
