The Sutta Nipāta[note 1] (lit.'Section of the Suttas') is a Buddhist scripture, a sutta collection in the Khuddaka Nikaya, part of the Sutta Pitaka of the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism. Sutta Nipata is a collection of discourses of Buddha. It is part of an early corpus of Buddhist literature. Robert Chalmers[1] explains that sutta means a consecutive thread of teaching and Hermann Oldenberg explained that nipata denotes a small collection.[2]
