Now, according to Rāhula Sāṅkṛtyāyana³ sūtra 5 of the Chinese corresponds to the Pali Aggañña, sūtra 15 to the Pāṭika, and sūtra 17 to the Pāsādika° and, from the other side, No. 22 of Pali is supposed to correspond to No. 98 of the Madhyamāgama; and No. 30 of DN to No. 59 of the latter collection (i.e., MĀ). Nanjio gives the title of this No. 59 as “on the thirtytwo characteristic marks,” and that appears to confirm this last identification.
