Aṅguttaranikāya: Numbered Collection 1
Translated for SuttaCentral by Sujato Bhikkhu

The “Numbered” or “Numerical” Discourses are usually known as
Aṅguttara Nikāya in Pali, abbreviated AN. However, the Pali tradition also
knows the form Ekottara (“one-up” or “incremental”), and this is the form
usually found in the northern collections. These collections organize texts in
numbered sets, from one to eleven. Compared to the othernikāyas, they are
more oriented to the lay community. The Ekottarikāgama (EA) in Chinese
is a highly unusual text, which features a range of variations within itself
when it comes even to basic doctrines. It shares considerably less in
common with the Pali Aṅguttara than the other collections do with their
counterparts. In addition, there is a partial Ekottarikāgama in Chinese, as
well as a variety of individual discourses and fragments in Chinese and
Sanskrit.
