Majjhimanikāya

The second “book,” or collection, of the Sutta Piṭaka, containing discourses of medium length.

It consists of eighty portions for recitation (bhāṇavāra) and is divided into three sections of fifty suttas (paṇṇāsa), the last paṇṇāsa containing fifty-two suttas.

At the First Council the duty of learning the Majjhimanikāya and of handing it down intact was entrusted to the “school” of Sāriputta (DA.i.15).

Buddhaghosa wrote a Commentary to the Majjhimanikāya, which is called the Papañcasūdaṇī, and Sāriputta of Sri Lanka wrote its Subcommentary (ṭīkā).

The Majjhimanikāya was also called the Majjhima Saṅgīti (e.g., MA.i.2; MT.193, 305).

When the Buddha’s dispensation (sāsana) disappears, the Majjhimanikāya predeceases the Dighanikāya. MA.ii.881.
